The SEN Practitioner

"The SEN Practitioner is a must-have resource for those practitioners working with our send learners and those who aspire to foster more inclusive approaches in all contexts. The need to challenge and change existing school cultures to become more compassionate and inclusive (for both professionals and students) is highlighted in this comprehensive and informative book. I can highly recommend it." - Dr Tina Rae, HCPC Registered Educational and Child Psychologist, Author and Educational Consultant

"As the societal concept of Neurodiversity rapidly emerges, this book is a timely and welcome addition for practitioners in the field of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, enabling them to appraise how this concept may helpfully influence their role, practice and, ultimately, the provision offered to children who are neurodiverse. Through a rich range of chapters from insightful practitioners, traditional and emerging roles and practices are explored, which recontextualise and re-evaluate their juxtaposition in the ever-changing scenario that is SEND. I highly commend to all involved in the day-to-day organisation, planning and delivery of high quality education to children with additional needs." - Professor Barry CarpenterCBE, OBE, Oxford Brookes University

“This book is an invaluable resource for anyone working in education. It champions the idea that by investing in the status, skills, and support of our SEN practitioners, we are making the most direct and meaningful investment in the outcomes and futures of our children. Read it, reflect on it, and let it inspire your practice.” - Annamarie Hassall MBE, Chief Executive, nasen
