Introduction
This resource focuses on specific interventions which can be used for children within the four definitions of areas of need as identified in the Special Educational Needs Code of Practice (DfES, 2001). The interventions and strategies offered in this book will provide you with ideas to try with pupils and get you thinking about how best you can meet their needs with the resources you have available. Many of the chapters also provide additional ideas to try with all the pupils in the class, improving access, engagement and participation with the curriculum for all.
