Special Educational Needs, Inclusion and Diversity has established itself as the textbook on special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This new edition retains the considered balance between theory, research and practice, written in an accessible, user-friendly style.

The fourth edition contains key updates in response to changes in the field, including developments in national policy and ways of thinking about SEND. There is a focus on reducing inequalities and enhancing inclusion to ensure relevance to working within diverse communities. Up-to-date psychological and educational methods are examined in the book to support assessment and evidence-based intervention with children and young people.

Key features include:
.The increasingly diverse SEND approaches across England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, within an international context
.Identification, assessment and intervention strategies for those with SEND aged from 0-25 years
.Extensive exploration of current developments, in particular within autism, mental health, mathematics and sensory needs
.A focus on professional ethics, parental support for learning and person-centred practices
.Case studies and learning activities to reflect contemporary best practice
Special Educational Needs, Inclusion and Diversity is a comprehensive guide for educational professionals to support them in maximising inclusion while recognising and supporting diversity.
