Sessions cover the teaching of pupils who are learning at the most fundamental levels, and those who may spend a long time working towards Level 1 maths. His book “Mathematics for Children with Severe and Profound Learning Difficulties” published by David Fulton Press has been very well received, the first print run selling out in seven months. Some of the articles he has written for Special Educational Needs (SEN) publications can be found on his website.
