She explores a wide range of informal and standardised approaches to assess and address the most common forms of SEND: literacy and numeracy difficulties and behavioural concerns related to social, emotional and mental health. At the heart of this book is the need to understand of children and young people with SEND as individual human beings with their own hopes, dreams and entitlement to the best possible education we can offer. With this in mind, Wearmouth draws uses key questions to introduce each chapter, and reflective activities to encourage you to consider your own practice to ensure that all young people reach their potential. She uses a range of exemplars, vignettes and personal accounts of young people's and families' experiences within the field to illustrate policy and provision for SEND in a highly authentic and engaging way.
