Janet Kay is a Principal Lecturer in Early Childhood Studies at Sheffield Hallam University, UK.
'Janet Kay is clear about the need to avoid presuppositions when
thinking about factors that might influence behaviour and what
actually happens with real children. She provides good advice on
topics such as learning difficulties, autism and ADHD. She has
sensible words on how and why behaviour policy documents should be
written...the book...demonstrates convincingly the difficult
diference between mereky containing unwanted behaviour and
providing circumstances in which it can change for the better.'
- Tom Deveson Music Teacher 'One of Janet Lay's
striking phrases - 'difference as ordinary' - is more than a way of
thinking about how to furnish settings for children with special
educational needs. Considered more deeply, it is a defining
characteristic of music itself.'
