Introduction -- Behaviour is communication -- Self-regulation -- Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), trauma and attachment-aware approaches -- Anxiety -- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) -- Autism -- Bereavement, Grief and Loss -- Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) -- Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) -- Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) -- Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) -- Tourette Syndrome (TS) and Tic Disorders."This practical resource helps school staff to reframe behaviour as a means of communicating a need, ensuring they can sensitively and effectively support children with a range of Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). With case studies and examples woven throughout, the book focuses on relational and strength-based approaches to improve mental health and wellbeing, self-esteem, sense of safety and, in turn, behaviour and educational outcomes. All advice is carefully designed to have the maximum positive impact on the child and minimum impact on teacher time and resources. Key features include: Accessible explorations of a range of difficulties and their effects on school life; A variety of supportive strategies, tips and advice, designed to be easy-to-implement effectively within a busy classroom; A focus on building and maintaining positive relationships, making the classroom a safe learning environment. Small adjustments can make a huge difference to wellbeing, whether they are for those with a diagnosis, with SEND, with SEMH needs, with anxiety, or just those having a hard time. This book will be an essential tool for teachers, SENCOs and school leaders in both mainstream and specialist settings"--Includes bibliographical references and index.

Ghost boy : the miraculous escape of a misdiagnosed boy trapped inside his own body / by Pistorius, Martin,1975-author.(CARDINAL)600709;
Includes bibliographical references and index.January 1988. Martin Pistorius, aged twelve, fell inexplicably sick. First he lost his voice and stopped eating. Then he slept constantly and shunned human contact. Doctors were mystified. Within eighteen months he was mute and wheelchair-bound. Martin's parents were told an unknown degenerative disease left him with the mind of a baby and less than two years to live. Martin was moved to care centers for severely disabled children. The stress and heartache shook his parents' marriage and their family to the core. Their boy was gone. Or so they thought. "Ghost Boy "is the heart-wrenching story of one boy's return to life through the power of love and faith. In these pages, readers see a parent's resilience, the consequences of misdiagnosis, abuse at the hands of cruel caretakers, and the unthinkable duration of Martin's mental alertness betrayed by his lifeless body. We also see a life reclaimed, a business created, and a new love kindled.Accelerated Reader AR
