Opis

This revised and updated second edition aims to enable teachers and staff working with people with PMLD in any context to create a positive interactive environment for the people with whom they work. Using information from the latest research and from everyday practice, the author discusses different aspects of a responsive environment and suggests practical strategies that staff can use to create such an atmosphere.

Recenzje

From a review of the 1st Edition
"I certainly enjoyed this book. The wealth of examples made it easy to see how to move towards a more responsive environment for people with PMLD, and staff who embark upon using the text for a course are likely to find the experience rewarding. And ultimately, of course, people with PMLD will benefit from being with carers who have a better idea of how to encourage their development." -- Child Language Teaching and Therapy
