The Buskers Guide to Inclusion

(Philip Douch, 2005)

'Inclusion? I don't think we could cope.' What is inclusion? What isn't inclusion? Why is inclusion important for all children? And how do we go about making it happen? The Buskers Guide to Inclusion explores what inclusion really means in a lively and down-to-earth way. It begins with some of the pitfalls to be avoided and identifies some important principles for good practice. It clearly demonstrates how these principles are equally applicable to working with every child, and how we can shift from seeing some children as 'special' to developing settings in which all children feel they truly belong.
Price - £8.75

This book is published by Common Threads in association with KIDS and is available from: www.commonthreads.org.uk/buskersguides.htm
