Acknowledgements
I should like to thank the following without whom this book would never have seen
the light of day:
Jude Bowen of David Fulton Publishers for her patience and efficient and
professional friendliness in supporting me through the writing process, Alan Worth
also of David Fulton Publishers for seeing the book through the production process,
friends and professionals who tried out the activities and made suggestions, the
children's parents, and finally, but probably most importantly of all, the children
themselves. Some of them feature in the case studies but, for reasons of confidentiality,
their names and details have been altered.
