About the book
Written for parents, teachers, and relevant to health care professionals (HCPs) who work with them, Evidence-based support for children and young people with additional needs, subtitled The Roadmap, carefully explains the nature and potential impact of neurodiversities and developmental disorders from birth to young adulthood and beyond. Written in clear, approachable plain-English, with a comprehensive Glossary, this compelling guide differentiates help that probably will help from the “help” that will probably not. It equips readers with the information needed to determine the level of scientific research evidence for approaches educators and HCPs commonly employ, allowing reasoned choices to be made. Other topics are typical development in infants, toddlers, children, and teens, contrasted with what happens when developmental difficulties and/or differences are present.
The Roadmap takes readers on an informative road trip that includes hothousing, parenting, reading, writing, spelling, language, speech, voice, resonance, fluency, executive functioning, working memory, self-regulation, autism and other neurodivergences (such as ADHD, intellectual disability, and NVLD), the highs and lows of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), fitting in and getting on with others, and myth busting. We hope all readers enjoy the ride and can use The Roadmap as a reference in supporting children and young people with additional needs, at home, in day care settings, at school, and in a range of community contexts.
