Play for Children with Special Needs: Supporting children with learning differences, 3-9

by Christine Macintyre (Routledge, 19.99, ISBN: 978-0-415-55883-9)

This fully revised second edition emphasises the importance of creating an environment where children become confident, independent learners, increasingly able to use their imaginations, care for others and to take safe risks. It covers new research findings and their implications for practice. Explained are the benefits of play and how to adapt play scenarios to support children who do not find it easy to play, how to observe children's play and analyse play areas.
