Abstract
In order to implement effective inclusive special education, all teachers need to know about the different types of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) that are found in schools. They need to know how to identify children with SEND and also learn about practical guidelines for teaching them, whether the children are in mainstream school, special class, resource room, or special schools settings. Therefore, in this chapter, the wide range of different types of SEND will be explained and details provided for recognizing them. Information for identifying children’s SEND and practical guidelines for teaching them, which have been drawn from the literature on SEND, will be presented in separate sections for each SEND so that readers who are interested in a particular SEND can go straight to the relevant section. At the end of the chapter, a summary is provided of the key teaching guidelines that have emerged from considering each of the SEND. More details on these key teaching guidelines are then provided in later chapters of the book.
