This book contains the utterly ascribed thoughts of a man who can't tell his own story. Indeed the unfortunate reality is that he'll never be able to tell his own story ... not ever ... never. Why? Well this book is about a man called Harry Hardacre, and Harry is a man with a profound learning disability. So despite being well into his fifth decade, Harry hasn't yet learned to talk: not even a bit ... in fact Harry hasn't ever managed to utter a single word. Therefore I, the so called author, have taken it upon myself to try to tell his story for him ... so that his voice is heard, so that his life is marked in some way. And your bit of this contrived bargain, and a real bargain it is, is that you need to spend a bit of your valuable time reading it!

Personalised Learning for Young People with Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties

Challenging the notion that young people with profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) should be taught in a linear, target-driven way, this book presents an innovative model for creating learning opportunities to suit the needs and abilities of each individual student. Focusing on students with PMLD aged 14 and over, and addressing their unique needs as they progress towards adult life, the author explains how to create a truly personalised programme for each individual that recognises their right to autonomy whilst also acknowledging their learning difficulties. Practical strategies for dealing with common areas of difficulty such as communication and behaviour are included, and the book contains useful solutions to practical considerations such as timetabling, staffing, assessments and target-setting, and adapting the physical and sensory environment for students with PMLD. A final section looks at opportunities for students with PMLD post-secondary education. Realistic and accessible, this book is essential reading for teachers, teaching assistants and others involved in educating young people with PMLD.

Intensive Interaction is an approach to teaching the fundamentals of communication to children and adults who have severe learning difficulties or autism, and who are still at an early stage of communication development. Its simplicity and effectiveness has been one of the major themes in the widespread practitioner dissemination that has taken place during the last twenty years. Despite the human simplicity of the approach, intensive interaction relates to, or is influenced in practice by, a wide range of interconnecting theories and academic standpoints. With contributions from leading authorities, Dave Hewett provides a comprehensive and detailed description of the theoretical landscape o...
