Beskrivning

Working with Hannah is a unique and detailed snapshot of the first years of schooling for a child with Down's Syndrome and severe mobility and communication problems. Written by two classroom assistants, who supported Hannah during her two and a half years in a mainstream infant school, this book shows how the right level of support can make inclusion a success not only for the child and family but also for the school itself. This practical guide describes the 'hands on' approach of Hannah's day-to-day management in a busy school. Topics covered include:*finding a school*how the school prepares*adapting the curriculum*recognising the importance of friendship*incorporating therapies into the school day*additional aspects of personal and, physical care*setting up communication systems.There are key points at the end of chapters, which highlight the salient aspects and offer practical advice.

Recensioner i media

'A most useful resource for both teachers and learning support assistants in mainstream schools ... inspirational.' - Down's Syndrome Association'Inspiring and helpful to any parent starting their child in mainstream schooling, and any teachers worried about taking the first steps.' - Pat Dolan, special parent, Stockport'This book should be in all school staffrooms. It is a practical guide to the successful inclusion of children with significant needs and it should make a major contribution by encouraging schools to include all children.' - Times Educational Supplement'This is a delightful, practical account of the integration of a young child with Down's Syndrome into a mainstream infant school. It shows how positive the experience can be for everyone involved when there is a good level of support from the education authority, school and the family. It is a powerful argument for finding the money to pay for proper support for children with special needs. When I am teaching a child with Down's Syndrome I will certainly go back to this book for ideas and advice. I am impatient to follow Hannah through the next stage of her education. Can we have the sequel please?' - Lise Bosher, Viewpoint'I particularly liked the personal nature of the story - Hannah is depicted as a real little girl in a real family in a real school, not just a case study. The conversational style of the book makes it easy reading that would appeal to families, teachers and teacher's aides alike. - Diane Doehring, New Zealand Down Syndrome News
