A Practical Guide to Mental Health & Learning Disorders for Every Educator: How to Recognize, Understand, and Help Challenged (and Challenging) Students Succeed. (Revised & Updated Edition)
Cooley, Myles L.
Free Spirit Publishing
Covering topics including PTSD, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and many others, this accessible, ready-to-use reference explains how each disorder or difficulty might be exhibited in the classroom and offers straightforward suggestions for what to do (and what not to do). Using clear, jargon-free language, the book helps all educators--whether in inclusive classrooms, general education settings, or other environments--recognize mental health issues and learning disabilities that are often observed in students. Fully revised and updated to correspond to the "DSM-5," this edition addresses newly diagnosed disorders, as well as incorporating the latest research and interventions for existing disorders. The book also includes current information about educational practices such as creating a culturally responsive classroom and supporting students' social-emotional learning.
