Blurb

The book has a broad base of learning difficulty which includes autism and Asperger′s syndrome. Dyslexia has also been included, since it contributes so pervasively to learning difficulties at school. The author also covers a wide developmental life span, from working with young babies to adolescents; and the whole spectrum of mental handicap, from mild learning difficulties to severe learning difficulties and profound and multiple handicaps.
