I feel disposed towards a second edition of Turning the tables on Challenging Behaviour. The issues interrogated in the book remain of considerable importance within educational settings and their communities. There are only a few substantive sources for practitioners to draw upon in the field of SLD/PMLD and ASD. So I do feel that, with the suggested additions/amendments, the book should be given further opportunities to cement its position within a modest range of dedicated literature.Philip Garner, Professor of Education, The University of Northampton, School of EducationA very practical and helpful book. Very readable, succinct and easy to understand. The author writes in a way that engages readers well and clearly draws on his own practical experience. I found it a useful book to direct new people for an inspiring read. Some of the material can be used for school-based training, especially the material on learners with PMLD and ASD/SLDRobert Ashdown, Co-editor Routledge Companion to Severe, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties; member of editorial team for PMLD Link; former headteacher of special school for pupils with SLD/PMLD (retired April 2013); former local authority Team-Teach trainer.
