Product reviews for Adaptive Teaching

This manuscript is a timely and important contribution to the ongoing con­versation about how schools can better support children and young people with SEND. It combines robust research with a deep awareness of the prac­tical challenges faced daily by teachers, leaders and support staff. It is easy to write about adaptive teaching in an abstract way, but one of the book’s greatest strengths is how it connects theory to the lived realities of class­rooms. At a time when many schools are grappling with limited resources, increasing complexity of need and growing pressures on inclusion, the insights offered here feel both authentic and achievable. Crucially, the work does not shy away from addressing systemic issues, such as staff capacity and the barriers families often encounter. Instead, it offers practical strate­gies and hopeful perspectives that can help schools foster resilience and inclusion, even in challenging circumstances. I would strongly recommend it.
