Notes, Checklists, Psycho-educational Strategies in Special Education, Gifted Education, Reading, Spelling, Written Expression, Mathematics, Studying and Behaviour and Parenting Education

I am very happy to share the material I have used in my teaching, lecturing, research and private practice over several decades.

The information is available in two forms-

1.       The sections in this website which are freely available and can be copied and printed provided the copyright text is retained.

2.       A DVD that is available for purchase. The DVD contains extended detailed information and checklists in PDF format for each of the 14 sections. Additional in-depth material is provided on the DVD.

 The material in both forms has been organised in 14 Sections and contains three types of information-

	Basic Definitions, Conceptual Frameworks, Notes and References
This material will provide practitioners with clear and concise definitions, conceptual frameworks and notes that will assist in forming the rationale for the selection of educational and instructional approaches and other intervention strategies.

	Checklists
These informal checklists, which are basically diagnostic in nature, should enable practitioners to identify significant developmental, psychological and educational needs in students and assist in the selection of appropriate educational and instructional strategies and psychological interventions.

	Psychological and Educational Strategies and Interventions
These strategies and interventions, both psychological and educational, are a central component of my psycho-educational reports and have been found to be helpful in supplementing the approaches and methods used by teachers and psychologists with students with special needs. Relevant resources including texts and computer software are highlighted.

This is an active website and is subject to regular updates. The information contained on this website has been gathered over the author’s professional experience of several decades of direct involvement with children and adolescents with special needs.

This online resource has been prepared by Dr. Stewart C. Sykes - Psychologist. MAPS.
