I wrote this book so I’m biased, but what makes this unique is that each chapter has been read by someone with direct experience of that need to make sure they would be happy that they or their child was being spoken about in that way.

There are loads of actionable strategies for teachers
, teaching assistants and SENCO.

I hope you enjoy it!
