One of
the biggest problems with handling a special needs
department is keeping up to date with all the special needs
that one can encounter.
Of
course we all know that Tourette’s Syndrome exists, but
quite possibly our knowledge of the Syndrome is sketchy.
That’s fine, until suddenly we find that there is a pupil or
student suffering from the Syndrome, and colleagues are
asking for guidance and support.
The
same can be true for everything from Asperger’s Syndrome to
dyscalculia from dysgraphia to obsessive compulsive
disorder. The issue is not just to know what the condition
is, but how the condition can best be handled in school.
To
help overcome this problem Behaviour Solutions has published
“A Guide to Syndromes and Conditions” which contains details
of the 17 most common but equally most often misunderstood
special needs.
In
each case the condition is defined in terms of the
characteristics and symptoms, and then details of strategies
and treatments, followed by details of useful books and
websites.
