Psychology and Educational Inclusion brings together theory, research, policy and practice to offer a holistic approach to understanding inclusive educational practice. 

The book is practical and activity-based, increasing readers awareness of issues related to identifying and supporting learners with Special Educational Needs (SEN). It will help readers strengthen their grasp of how diverse approaches can be applied to practices in different areas of need, such as Autism or Dyslexia. With a broad focus on inclusive practice as a whole, the text also 'zooms in' to specific approaches to various areas of challenges. The authors invite readers to think critically about these approaches, their effectiveness and their implications.

This book:  Tackles a wide range of issues that affect learners with SEN, such as co-occurrence or labelling Contains case studies, writing activities and reflective exercises to encourage active learning Draws on theory and research while remaining practice-based

Written by internationally recognised experts in the field in a clear and accessible way, Psychology and Educational Inclusion supports students by demystifying the jargon of the specialism. Bridging the gap between education and psychology, this is the ultimate handbook for both current and future psychologists and educators.
