Every Child Can Learn: Using learning tools and play to help children with Developmental Delay

Includes CD-Rom

Based on the authors' own clinical practice and extensive experience in the field, this book is a creative and flexible aid to helping children with learning difficulties.

Their accessible and positive approach, 'Functional Learning', focuses on helping children learn, children's potential, and what they can rather than cannot do. It is based on the purposeful 'doing' by the young child and can be carried out at home, school or the therapy room with either parents, teacher or therapist. The approach, which is cross-cultural, can be extended to all aspects of the child's life, and enables them to participate in everyday activities at home and school.

Fully illustrated, the book draws extensively on the authors' many years of practical work and offers techniques and activities used to help children develop their learning with a focus on:

- Development of Learning Tools

- Working with parents

- Language and communication

- Behaviour and emotional development

- Integration of learning into everyday life

The book includes a CD-Rom/DVD with printable material for making cards and worksheets, plus illustrative video material.

This book is suitable for anyone working with or caring for a child with learning difficulties, or with autistic spectrum disorders; for SEN teachers and SENCOs, early years training, teacher training and child development courses, as well as parents.
