Every early years student and early years practitioner needs this book; it is an invaluable guide to best practice on how to work with young children with such particular needs.
Kate Wall is Principal Lecturer in Childhood Studies at the University of Chichester. She has worked extensively as a practitioner in the early years, in both mainstream and specialist settings.
A great text. Very thorough, a very informative read for practitioner, students and teachers.
Excellent use of ‘real’ case studies. This book is well set-out and each chapter offers key issues, suggestions for discussion and further reading.
Although this book covers the essential reading for the subject area, I feel that it would not add to books already recommended to students.
This textbook is a good adjunct to the booklist for undergraduate students in children's nursing. It gives insight into how healthy young children are managed in early years and provided tips on how children with autism could be managed in other settings
This book provides sound information to altert the new practitioner to the signs of autism and understanding its completity, with practical advice of what and where to seek advice.
