As someone who has spent many years researching young children’s transitions, this book brings something new in terms of considering children who have additional needs. Transitions for all children need to be approached with care, as each child’s transition is unique to their own specific circumstances, this book opens up opportunities to view children through a wider lens.

I would recommend this book to anyone working with disability, but also, any teacher who works in even neurotypical spaces. The pedagogy outlined here is not solely applicable to those with developmental delays or disabilities but is also a practical pedagogy for teaching in general.

The Bloomsbury Transitions in Childhood and Youth series brings together books that present and explore empirical research and theoretical discussion on the themes of childhood and youth transitions. Special attention is directed to conceptualizing transitions holistically so that societal, institutional and personal perspectives are featured within and across books. Key to the series is presenting the processes of transitions between practices or activities and their relationship to the person, in contexts such as, intergenerational family practices, the processes of care, a person’s development, the learning of individuals, groups and systems, personal health, labour and birthing and aging. All books take a broad cultural-historical approach of transitions across a range of contexts and countries and when brought together in one place make an important contribution to better understanding transitions globally. Books in the Transitions in Childhood and Youth series offer an excellent resource for postgraduate students, researchers, policy writers and academics.
