Teaching Children with Special Needs

There are many children who, for genetic or environmental reasons, need special treatment as regards their education to enable them to come into the mainstream of life and not spend their lives in isolation and neglect. For this, not only should their special needs be identified early in life but it is necessary for their teachers to be specially trained for the purpose. That is the aim of this book. It provides a comprehensive coverage of all the aspects needed to become an efficient teacher of such children. It covers the subject in theory and in practical applications. It explains in complete detail the many methods that can be used to cater to the special needs of children who need specialized attention and care. It outlines the measures and precautions that should be taken not only by teachers but by parents of such children to not only keep their morale high and behaviour and development consistent with their better gifted peers but also to bring them on par with the highly competitive levels of modern civilisation. Thus, this book will be of immense utility to parents of children with special needs as also teachers, educationists and students and researchers in this highly complex subject.
