All children need practitioners who are able to observe and reflect on their individual style of learning. Children with a visual impairment, in particular, need practitioners who are curious and imaginative about how they learn when vision is not their main medium. This book makes suggestions about some aspects of developing and learning with a visual impairment which will enable practitioners to make the learning environment they provide a positive and responsive one for children with a visual impairment.

Including children with speech and language difficulties relates directly to the findings of the Bercow Report (pubished in July 2008) in which John Bercow MP reviewed the provision of services for children and young people with speech, language and communication needs. This book will help parents and practitioners to identify children with speech and language difficulties and support them in a practical and fun way.
