NEW BOOK NEWS

Edited by Heather Mason and Stephen McCall

with Christine Arter, Mike McLinden, Juliet Stone
 
 

Bringing together a wide range of expertise in this area, this book is written for parents and professionals working with children and young people with a visual impairment. It closely examines the causes of eye conditions and additional disabilities, how these can restrict access to the mainstream curriculum, and ways in which the effects can be ameliorated. Central to the text is entitlement. National curriculum areas are discussed in some detail, and attention is given to the hidden curriculum, specialist curriculum and extra curricular activities, and to the competencies required by staff working with these children and young people. Teachers of the visually impaired (primary, secondary and tertiary), lecturers and students of visual impairment, parents, social workers and rehabilitation workers will all welcome this book.
