The Intensive Interaction Classroom Guide: Social Communication Learning and Curriculum for Children with Autism, Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties, or Communication Difficulties
Editat de Amandine Mourière, Pam Smithen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 sep 2026
Geared mainly towards supporting children with communication and social-communication differences arising from autism, learning difficulties, or complex needs, the principles apply equally to students of all levels of cognitive ability who struggle with social situations and emotional or sensory regulation. The Intensive Interaction Classroom Guide brings together contributions from experienced teachers, teaching assistants, and headteachers who reflect on their practice and share practical tips to facilitate social-communication development within a nurturing classroom environment. Offering practical advice on curriculum and pedagogy and drawing on case studies, authors address key themes on a practical level, while grounding their discussions theoretically and methodologically.
This second edition includes information on neuroscience and neurodivergence, which supports the use of Intensive Interaction in a teaching and learning context. This perspective will be valuable for all teachers and practitioners, whether in specialist or mainstream settings supporting individuals with social-communication differences. Filled with practical advice and techniques, this book will be essential to anyone working in classroom settings with students who experience social-communication difficulties or need a nurturing approach to emotional well-being.

Recenzii
"Embedding Intensive Interaction at the heart of a school’s educational, pastoral and care provision should be seen as a vital element in meeting our children’s special educational needs. This book offers reflective, insightful and practically useful perspectives and resources that can significantly help in this process. Setting each individual child at the very centre of their own social and communicative development is what Intensive Interaction undoubtedly delivers; this book will help schools and teaching staff alike to more effectively meet that challenge." - Graham Firth, Intensive Interaction Institute Team Leader and Founding Director
"Intensive Interaction IS communication, and this book illustrates this very clearly. In the 70s, when I started in SEN, we quickly realised behaviour modification was not right for our students. We began using music and dance, symbols and timetables, plus social stories. We also began to realise how much our students – and their families – could teach us! Maybe this was the beginning of II…which has now been refined to the professional standard illustrated by the many contributors to this book. Importantly, it has not lost any of its spontaneity or its child-centred emphasis." - Ruth Buchan, former Headteacher Freemantle School
"It has been a long time since Kellett and Nind’s ‘Implementing Intensive Interaction in Schools’ did "what it said on the box" and became every I.I. Coordinator’s go-to reference, so it is great to see the arrival of 'The Intensive Interaction Classroom Guide' which gives a range of contexts to the experiences of practitioners now using Intensive Interaction in classrooms. It contains some especially helpful and current references to EYFS, ECHPs and Ofsted that both lone practitioners and coordinators in schools will find reassuring and useful." - Dr Mark Barber, Consultant in Profound Intellectual Disability and Severe Communication Impairment in Australia
"This practical guide provides support for teachers working from nursery to Post-16 with a wide range of students, not only those with autism or learning differences." - Mary Mountstephen, SEN Magazine
