Baroness Mary Warnock:

"The great utility of this book is that it is a tool-kit, and one that all teachers can use, not only those with training in teaching children with special needs. It points with precision to the assessments that must be made of the children who seem to be struggling; it suggests from whom further support may have to be sought."
