What Really Works in Special and Inclusive Education

This fully revised and updated third edition presents teachers with a range of up-to-date, evidence-based strategies they can use to tackle the challenges of inclusive education. An essential resource for the busy educator, each of the twenty-nine strategies explored in What Really Works in Special and Inclusive Education has a substantial research base drawn from a range of countries, a strong theoretical rationale, and clear guidelines on their implementation, as well as cautionary advice where necessary.

Key features of the third edition include:

• An easy-to-follow structure divided into four categories: behavioural approaches, social strategies, cognitive strategies, and mixed strategies.
• Eight new chapters, focusing on topical areas such as neuroscience, social and emotional education, visual learning and communication, and the transition from school to post-school environments.
• Updated chapters that consider the most diverse and up-to-date research in education, psychology, health, and technology.

Whilst the focus of What Really Works in Special and Inclusive Education is on children with special educational needs, the strategies are universally applicable. This makes it essential reading for all classroom teachers, school leaders, teacher educators and students, educational psychologists, special needs coordinators and consultants, and educational researchers.
