The proposed texts covers areas often missed out of SEND titles such as cultural differences, EAL and legal accountability. The breadth of coverage and the focus on providing trainee teachers with the information they need in their settings, makes this title suitable for advanced undergraduates studying on SEND BA (Hons) in addition to those postgraduate students understanding the National SENCO Award or any other PG Certificate within SEND.
