Able Children in Ordinary Schools
(Reference #A/ABL1FU)
Author: Deborah Eyre
Asserting that state schools can meet the needs of able pupils, this text provides practical strategies for both senior managers and classroom teachers to achieve this end. It explores the issues and problems surrounding good provision and suggests why schools have found this area so difficult. The book sites examples of good practice in all phases of school-based education, and in particular looks at ways in which extension planning for able pupils can be developed as part of general planning.
TABLE OF CONTENTS:
Background of thinking since the introduction of comprehensive schools; questions and definitions; the recognition of ability (identification); managing provision in the primary school; provision in the primary classroom; managing provision in the secondary school; provision in secondary subject departments; professional development and inservice issues; 2000 and beyond, a blueprint for the future.

Able Underachievers
(Reference #A/ABL2WH)
Author – Diane Montgomery
Since the introduction of mass schooling educationalists have been concerned that large numbers of able children have underfunctioned. The introduction of grammar school education in 1944, for the top twenty percent did not overcome this problem. Equally comprehensive education did not resolve it and once again there is pressure to return to selection and ‘acceleration’. This book however suggests a ‘third way’. Whatever the structure used it advocates that the current curriculum needs to be taught differently so as to include all learners and to ‘engage their brains’ with the curriculum content. Evidence of what is needed and what works with able underachievers, the disaffected and low attainers from a wide range of backgrounds lies in the pedagogy used. It concludes that teaching and learning methods need to be modified to become learning orientated and learner centred rather than subject orientated and teacher centre. Education will then have ‘come of age’.

AD/HD and the Nature of Self-Control
(Reference #A/ADH3AFH)
Author: Barkley
This far-reaching work from renowned scientist-practitioner Russell A. Barkley provides a radical shift of perspective on ADHD, arguing that the disorder is fundamentally a developmental problem of self-control, and that a deficit in attention is a secondary, and not universal, characteristic. The volume synthesizes neuropsychological research and theory on the executive functions, illuminating how normally functioning individuals are able to bring behavior under the control of time and orient their actions toward the future. Meticulously applying this model to an examination of the cognitive and social impairments manifested by ADHD, Barkley offers compelling new directions for thinking about and treating this disorder.
The book reviews the diagnostic criteria of ADHD, identifying the inadequacies of current conceptualizations, and presents a range of new and testable hypotheses about the nature of the disorder. Shifting the focus of ADHD theory building away from inattention per se, Barkley delves into the vital construct of behavioral inhibition. Chapters draw upon extensive neuropsychological research to show how the ability to delay one’s response to external stimuli permits the development of the executive functions involved in self-control. Providing a new level of insight into the day-to-day adaptive functioning problems of affected children and adults, the book demonstrates how ADHD disrupts the developmental process by which behavior becomes internalized, resulting in an inability to regulate and direct behavior toward the future.

Included are a number of appendices containing examples of handouts and observation coding sheets.

Autism: medical and educational aspects
(Reference #A/AUT4WH)
Authors: Theo Peeters & Chris Gillberg
Though autism is one of the best documented and validated childhood psychiatric syndromes, there remains an enormous gap between theoretical understanding of autism and understanding of it in the practice of daily life. This book aims to go some way towards bridging that gap.|In common with visual or auditory impairments, the cause of autism is physical, biological and organic. Likewise, just as people with impaired sight or hearing need education and guidance specific to their needs, people with autism require specialized education and support matched to their particular difficulties.|This book, aimed at the medical community and the teaching profession, introduces the medical background to autism and discusses current educational approaches to helping those diagnosed as autistic. The book sets out to inspire as well as to inform those involved with the medical or educational management of people with autism.

Autism – From Theoretical Understanding to Educational Intervention
(Reference #A/AUT2WH)
Author: Theo Peeters
Autism is a condition which renders the sufferer incapable of understanding meaning ‘beyond the information given’. The autistic person has a purely literal relationship with reality and has difficulty in developing imagination: “He panicked when he heard his mother say she wanted to cry her eyes out. If you kiss him and you ask him how it feels he may answer ‘Wet'”. Theo Peeters regards autistic people as ‘hyperrealist’ in a world of ‘surrealism’ that we call ‘normal’. Paradoxically, it is lack of imagination that makes dealing with an absence of imagination so difficult. This book not only provides a theoretical understanding of the condition to help carers to adapt to the autistic person’s way of thinking but also offers practical intervention strategies for education and treatment. The numerous quotes from parents and autistic people throughout the book provide particularly valuable insights.
