Rezensionen

"Mariza Ferreira and Rebecca Howell have provided a masterclass in inclusive practice for occupational therapists. Their holistic DME-C approach is endorsed by families for its life-changing impact, particularly for children with 'spiky profiles' where it can be difficult to determine the most effective therapeutic interventions. Radiating the spirit of occupational therapy, this book moves beyond labels to focus on practical solutions, such as the Ten Golden Nuggets, helping therapists to identify and support children with DME as a routine part of their professional practice. This book is a must-read for every occupational therapist." - Professor Adam Boddison OBE, Co-author of The School Handbook for DME

"An essential handbook for occupational therapists working with or interested in working with children who demonstrate characteristics of DME/2e! Written collaboratively by expert DME/2e practitioners, this comprehensive book guides the therapist through clearly structured chapters with detailed information on the identification of DME/2e with easy to use checklists, and tried and tested intervention techniques. Utilising the 10 Golden Nuggets with the 4 Essential Components of the DME-C therapy approach provides the therapist with skills to deliver holistic therapy that embraces the child as an equal partner in the process. I wish this book had been published before I retired!" - Sue Davis, Retired Independent Paediatric Occupational Therapist

"This is a breakthrough book which offers a practical framework and simple steps to both identify Dual and Multiple Exceptionality and to supplement current professional OT practice to address appropriately the specific issues these children and young people face. Not only that, but I believe that every professional across the practice spectrum, parent/carer and teacher should be aware of the approach outlined in this book. Used in the right way, it could have a major impact on issues ranging from school phobia to behavioural issues at home or in the classroom; mental health challenges to issues related to underachievement and beyond." - Denise Yates, Author of Parenting Dual Exceptional Children and co author of The School Handbook for Dual and Multiple Exceptionality
