westie Report post Posted September 21, 2010 (edited) Hi, please find links to early support booklets about sleep, ASD's and also speech and language disorders on the Department for Education website (formerly DSCF) They can be downloaded as PDF documents, or if you register you can order copies which are delivered free to you. Sleep, ref ES82: http://publications.education.gov.uk/default.aspx?PageFunction=downloadoptions&PageMode=publications&ProductId=ES82& ASD, ref ES12: http://publications.education.gov.uk/default.aspx?PageFunction=downloadoptions&PageMode=publications&ProductId=ES12& Speech and Language disorders, ref ES14: http://publications.education.gov.uk/default.aspx?PageFunction=downloadoptions&PageMode=publications&ProductId=ES14& They also have booklets in the EARLY SUPPORT series about down syndrome, cerebral palsy, deafness and multi sensory difficulties. Some other useful publications you can download or order via this area of the website are the SEN code of practise, the SEN code of practise toolkit Also one I found useful is the following (for teachers, support staff but also useful for parents to read who have ASD children in foundation stage and may want to understand what their needs MAY be in this environment and how school staff can help children with ASD http://publications.education.gov.uk/default.aspx?PageFunction=downloadoptions&PageMode=publications&ProductId=DCSF-00040-2009& There is a publication about ASD and the inclusion development strategy program for primary and secondary pupils, but it is a DVD tool, the accompanying booklet which can be downloaded, does not give much detail but explains whats on the DVD/CD. You can access this programme online I think but you can't order the DVD/CD unless you are a teacher I think. Hope someone finds these useful!
