This is a really good introduction for students new to SEND. The case studies and reflections are engaging, linking theory to practice and the real world. -- Dr Austin Griffiths Written in an accessible format for foundation and undergraduate courses. This book is rich with case study experiences surrounding the complexities of inclusion. It both challenges and informs. -- Syreeta Charles-Cole I would recommend this book as an informative and engaging introduction to Inclusion in the Early Years. Key terminology is defined and the concept of inclusion is explored within a historical and political context. Case studies, strategies and reflective questions challenge thinking and support professional practice. -- Claire Jackson
