Opis

Offering accessible advice on the special educational needs of girls with Rett syndrome, this volume aims to assist teachers in developing a working knowledge of the syndrome and suggests particular strategies in planning a curriculum which may help overcome the specific difficulties within the diagnosis. For parents, the book provides a picture of the special school system in this country and the educational implications for their daughters. It should also be of interest to those working with pupils with a more general type of profound learning disability.
