Opis

Now in a fully revised and updated second edition, this innovative and wide-ranging book shows how storytelling can open new worlds for individuals with special educational needs and disabilities. Full of inspiring ideas to be used with people of all ages and with a range of needs, this book will be an invaluable tool.

Recenzje

"The book combines theory and practice and each chapter includes top tips, and signposts to further training for practitioners who want to start using stories in their own work. Several of the chapters have illustrations and include a ‘Try it yourself’ section, with practical advice.

There are many inspiring ideas that can be used with people of all ages and with a range of needs and there is a common thread running through the book of celebrating the universal appeal of this ancient art." - Mary Mountstephen, SEN Magazine
