Fully updated, and with new sections on behaviourism, attachment disorders, neuro-scientific developments and working with dis-engaged learners, this second edition of Turning the Tables contains real-life case studies, strategies for identification and handy hints and tips throughout. It is the authoritative guide to tackling challenging behaviour and working effectively with children, young people and adults with severe learning difficulties (SLD), profound and multiple learning difficulties (PMLD) and those on the autistic spectrum with a dual ASD and learning difficulties diagnosis.

With a unique approach, the author stresses the need to diagnose not only the correct difficulty but the degree of learning difficulty for a lasting resolution, as well as tackling common behavioural problems such as attention needing and task avoidance.

Chapters are split into three specific areas, SLD, PMLD and ASD/SLD, covering:

the 'Magnificent Seven' fundamental principles of challenging behaviour strategies for correct identification of the main area of learning difficulty improving teaching methods and strategies to resolve challenging behaviour, including handy hints and tips when things don’t go to plan extensive use of real case studies to illustrate strategies for resolution guidance on writing your own Behaviour Support Plan.

This is a practical and authoritative guide to dealing with the myriad of challenging behaviours that constantly puzzle practitioners. It is an essential read for all professionals, parents and carers working with children, young people and adults with SLD, SLD/ASD and PMLD.

Reviews for 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. Philip Garner, Professor of Education, The University of Northampton, School of Education 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 Robert Ashdown, Co-editor Routledge Companion to Severe, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties; member of editorial team for PMLD Link; former headteacher of special school for pupils with SLD/PMLD (retired April 2013); former local authority Team-Teach trainer.
