Inclusive education & mainstreaming; Teaching of special educational needs

Summary
Details

“This book offers a broad and helpful definition of inclusive education – one which centres upon high quality, relevant and evidenced teaching and support.” Graeme Douglas, Professor of Disability and Special Educational Needs, University of Birmingham, UK

“This book is a must-have for every teacher in primary and secondary schools and should be compulsory literature on all teacher training courses.” Marleen J. Janssen, Ph.D., Professor Inclusive and Special Needs Education, University of Groningen Institute for Deafblindness, The Netherlands

Supporting learners with Multisensory Impairment (MSI) (Deafblindness) requires a range of strategies and this book offers a synthesis of best practice with the latest theory and research. At a time when we are urgently calling for inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all, there are significant gaps in research on educating children and young people with MSI and complex needs

To address this gap, this book brings together theoretical literature, the latest research studies, and a combination of best practices and effective educational strategies for learners with MSI and complex needs. Leda Kamenopoulou ensures the central focus is on learners with the most complex needs, for whom inclusion in education can be very challenging to achieve without bespoke strategies, flexibility and creativity.

This book:

•Provides a multitude of resources for those teaching learners with MSI and complex needs •Expands the understanding of inclusive education and advocates for a focus on the ‘quality of provision’ •Features illustrative case studies, tools, and bespoke activities •Raises awareness and contributes to the current knowledge base around an under-explored disability •Presents evidence and practice-based strategies for including learners with MSI in any educational setting

This is a much-needed resource for student teachers, professionals, post-graduate researchers and academics in the field of MSI, sensory and complex needs, and all those interested in making inclusive and equitable quality education a reality for all.

Leda Kamenopoulou is an Associate Professor at the Department of Psychology and Human Development, IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society, UK. Her teaching, research and publications focus on Multisensory Impairment (Deafblindness), inclusive education within different contexts, and preparing teaching professionals for meeting the needs of all learners.
