This is not a long book, but it is one that could not be read straight through. It is a compilation of contributions from authors who are early years practitioners and whose educational establishments are considered to be models of good practice. Their special needs experience covers a variety of settings and conditions, including a hospital setting, provision by a specified local education authority and a special needs nursery, hearing impediments, communication difficulties and Down's syndrome.
