From the leading experts in the sector, thanks to its technical and practical layout, the Sensory Disability at school Guide not only presents characteristics of the various sensory disabilities and their repercussions at school but also strategies for compensating for deficits, and didactic and psychoeducational intervention tools.
The book is divided into 4 sections which guide the reader in the different phases which characterise the work with pupils:
– KNOWING, OBSERVING AND EVALUATING: a clear and thorough definition is given on sensory disabilities; tools for their observation and classification are provided.
– PROGRAMMING AND TAKING ACTION: concrete strategies and interventions are given for effectively tackling particular didactic and educational needs.
– THINKING AND UNDERSTANDING: the emotional and relational implications the disorders carry are analysed.
– JOINING FORCES AND SHARING: strategies for building a synergic intervention network centred on the well-being of the child are given.
