Practical guidance for inclusive school support

Stephanie Lorenz’s handbook addresses the educational needs of pupils with Down’s syndrome in mainstream primary and secondary schools. It connects an introduction to characteristics that can affect learning and behaviour with practical questions of classroom provision: adapting access to the National Curriculum, coordinating with parents and outside agencies, and considering how a whole school can support inclusion. The book also includes working materials—photocopiable forms and checklists, INSET resources, and further reading—alongside its guidance. Its scope links day-to-day support with the wider responsibilities of school staff and the use of limited resources.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teachers and support assistants in mainstream primary or secondary schools
  • SENCOs and school leaders planning provision for pupils with Down’s syndrome
  • School support services seeking checklists, training materials, and further reading

Book overview

This practical handbook offers advice on strategies for meeting the special educational needs of children with Down's syndrome in mainstream schools. The aim is to increase the confidence of support assistants, teachers, SENCOs and senior managers in both primary and secondary schools in providing a quality education for these pupils, while using scarce resources to best effect.

The author offers an introduction to the particular characteristics of children with Down's syndrome and their impact on learning and behaviour. She considers the benefits of inclusive education and the most effective ways in which the National Curriculum can be made accessible. She also examines working with the whole-school, parents and outside agencies, as well as providing practical resources such as photocopiable proformas and checklists, materials for INSET in schools and support services and a list of reading materials.
