Behaviour has featured heavily in the news recently with teachers of children with SEN in mainstream schools reporting that their working lives are made considerably worse by deteriorating pupil behaviour and a lack of support from schools.

 In a survey of 1500 teachers by Canterbury Christ Church University 80% said that behaviour was worse. The report suggests there is ‘a sizeable proportion of teachers who do not consider they have a sufficiently wide range of strategies to manage the behaviour of pupils with SEN’.

 Behaviour Solutions has produced 2 books which give strategies to support learners with 46 syndromes and conditions covered. Why not take a look at Behaviour Solutions: A Guide to Syndromes and Conditions, and A Guide to More Syndromes and Conditions.
