Turning the Tables on Challenging Behaviour Working with Children, Young People and Adults with Severe and Profound Learning Difficulties and/or Autistic Spectrum Disorders

I feel disposed towards a second edition of Turning the tables on Challenging Behaviour. The issues interrogated in the book remain of considerable importance within educational settings and their communities.

There are only a few substantive sources for practitioners to draw upon in the field of SLD/PMLD and ASD. So I do feel that, with the suggested additions/amendments, the book should be given further opportunities to cement its position within a modest range of dedicated literature.

A very practical and helpful book. Very readable, succinct and easy to understand. The author writes in a way that engages readers well and clearly draws on his own practical experience.

I found it a useful book to direct new people for an inspiring read. Some of the material can be used for school-based training, especially the material on learners with PMLD and ASD/SLD
