Griffiths, Matthew; Tennyson, Carol
This guide, in workbook format, is intended to assist staff at British residential colleges and schools in developing individualized programs to meet the learning needs of students with disabilities or other special learning needs. Emphasis is on integration of educational and residential programs in an extended curriculum involving continual learning throughout the day in five areas: academic, vocational, social, domestic, and self.
