`The book is very accessible and practical, and could be used not only by teachers but also by learning mentors, classroom assistants and others. Indeed, just over half of the content consists of worksheets, and then there is as addendum, of posters at the back. All in all, this is a very practical book that encourages more analytical problem-solving skills and greater levels of interactive/social skills among pupils with challenging behaviour′ - Educational Psychology in Practice
