My Right to Play: A Child With Complex Needs (Debating Play)

Orr draws on 30-plus years of experience working with children with special needs and their families, and training graduate students in the UK. Written as a first-person narrative from the perspective of a child receiving care, the text provides insights into the development and needs of a person with multiple disabilities, and gives examples of effective and ineffective ways for families and workers to intervene. The focus is on the early years and the need for play, but includes material relevant to all age groups. For families of profoundly disabled children, carers, teachers, therapists, and medical staff.
