The aim of the Including Children with series is to equip practitioners and carers with the basic information they require in order to understand particular special needs and respond appropriately to the child and his or her parents. The emphasis is on helping the child to participate as fully as possible in the curriculum, on equal terms with his or her peers. Including children with speech and language difficulties relates directly to the findings of the Bercow Report (pubished in July 2008) in which John Bercow MP reviewed the provision of services for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs. This book will help parents and practitioners to identify children with speech and language difficulties and support them in a practical and fun way.
