This practical guide is written to help assistants in supporting children who have behavioural difficulties. The author provides: a description of the role of the assistant in working with the class teacher to enable children to learn good behaviour in schools; a clear description of the range of behaviour difficulties; and information on strategies that work in managing behaviour. The book should be useful for any assistant working directly with children, as all assistants in the course of their work need to develop a repertoire of effective strategies for managing behaviour. It should be particularly helpful for assistants who work routinely with children who present behaviour problems as it guides understanding and provides a helpful framework for knowing where to start, what to do and how to do it. The books should also prove to be a valuable resource in the training of assistants.
