Review: "'Educating Children for Inclusion and Diversity' is a considerable revision of 2e of 'Educating Children with Diverse Abilities' and continues to build on the concept of inclusive curriculum and the diversity of learning needs. This edition has been revised to give students a broad understanding of the principles of inclusive education, and the ways in which teachers can accommodate the differing learning needs of their students. New case studies have been added throughout to give students real-life scenarios to consider and analyse. These show that teaching does not come from reading alone and the practical activities allow them to gain insight and knowledge into the diversity of children's learning needs."--Publisher's website.
