Books by Paul Cooper

Designed for individual teachers and school teams, this text demonstrates how to approach and manage disruptive students and behaviour through a series of detailed strategies presented in the context of a research base and complete with case studies.

Based on the views of pupils who have been excluded from mainstream schools, this book offers sensible guidelines to reducing disaffection in both mainstream and segregated schools.

A clear and concise guide to classroom practice for teachers dealing with pupils with attention deficit/Hyperactivity disorder, a condition which is estimated to affect on average one in every 25 children.

Paul Cooper and Fintan O'Regan have produced a concise and comprehensive guide to including and educating children with AD/HD.

The contributors stress that EBDs are a form of communication, albeit an antagonistic one, and evaluate the success of different methods of intervention in clinical, educational and family settings. They argue that successful intervention requires an appreciation of the complex interplay in the social and personal factors affecting each child.

The authors show that exclusion is not the only option when dealing with children in emotional and behavioural difficulties in mainstream schools. Essential reading for special needs coordinators, teachers and heads.
