Special Children

Special Children, edited by Mick Archer, is written for professionals working with children who have special educational needs (SEN).

Supporting children with special educational needs isn’t getting any easier. Whether you work in a mainstream or special school, for a local authority support service or a voluntary organisation, your role just seems to get bigger and bigger. For many, the SEN brief now includes looked after children; those with emotional, social or behavioural difficulties; those educated out of school; even able and gifted children. Now there is the Every Child Matters agenda to contend with, including Children’s Trusts, extended schools, multi-agency working and more.

For 20 years Special Children has helped SEN professionals so they can help others, whether it be teachers, classroom assistants or the pupils themselves. Our features report on cutting edge practice. Our news pages bring you the latest developments from government initiatives to groundbreaking research. Our review pages highlight the latest books, software and teaching resources to make your job just that little bit easier. And being independent we aren’t afraid to speak our mind.

Special Children is written to provide news and ideas for:

• All teachers (especially SENCOs)

• Educational psychologists

• Classroom assistants

• Voluntary sector workers

• Therapists

• Parents and carers

• Care workers

Throughout the year, Special Children features articles which address all aspects of special educational needs across the whole age range: autism, emotional and behavioural difficulties, dyslexia, hearing impairment, visual impairment, physical disabilities and communication difficulties.
