What happens when a child struggles in the classroom?
What's it really like for children and families living with neurodiversity?
Why is there a surge in children requiring special educational support?
In this book, Dave Clements confronts urgent questions about education and the rising levels of diagnosed needs and behavioural difficulties in schools. He combines personal accounts, research, media commentary and cultural analysis to explore why there has been such a rapid growth in identified needs, while also questioning common explanations for this trend.
Clements argues that parents play the central role in understanding what is best for their children, and that teachers remain vital in shaping classroom experience. He calls for a more honest and critical conversation about how best to support young learners, urging empathy for children and families, but also a rethink of policies and systems struggling to respond to the growing crisis in education today.
