What Teachers Need to Know About Students with Disabilities

The nature of a student's disability has a significant impact on how that student learns best and the most appropriate methods for teaching and classroom management.

This new book by internationally acclaimed researcher and author, Peter Westwood, aims to provide practising teachers, teachers in training and other school personnel, up-to-date, factual information on a range of physical, intellectual, and social/emotional disabilities and the impact of each specific disability on an individual student's development and ability to learn.

This brief guide is enhanced by extensive links to other, often more expert resources teachers may need to refer to when dealing with disabilities beyond their comfort zone.
