ABSTRACT
Within this book each chapter attempts to address current issues which are important for practising teachers and to consider how the use of psychological knowledge can improve their practice in the classroom. In this chapter, we consider current developments in the education of children with special educational needs and in particular the move towards more inclusive education. The approach taken is itself inclusive as it considers all children as individuals, rather than focusing upon children with special needs in particular, and looks at the skills which are necessary for teachers to become more effective with every individual in their class.
