SynopsisSupporting Children with Communication Difficulties in Inclusive Settings is written especially for future language interventionists and special education teachers who will work on collaborative teams in public settings. This text teaches an innovative service delivery model where parents and professionals share expertise and responsibility to maximize and support language and communicative competence in classrooms with wide ability, cultural, racial/ethnic, linguistic, and economic diversity. It provides step-by-step directions and hands-on activities to give students practice in applying the procedures. The writing is clear and does not assume that the student has had previous courses or knowledge in speech-language intervention. The content offers a solid foundation in basic procedures for classroom-based intervention for all children with language and communication difficulties., In 1963 David P. Sandgren went to Kenya to teach in a small, rural school for boys, where he remained for the next four years. These were heady times for Kenyans, as the nation gained its independence, approved a new constitution, and held its first elections. In the school where Sandgren taught, the sons of Gikuyu farmers rose to the challenges of this post colonial era and, in time, entered Kenyan society as adults, joining Kenya's first generation of post colonial elites. In Mau Mau's Children , Sandgren has reconnects with these former students. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews, he provides readers with a collective biography of the lives of Kenya's first postcolonial elite, stretching from their 1940s childhood to the peak of their careers in the 1990s. Through these interviews, Mau Mau's Children shows the trauma of growing up during the Mau Mau Rebellion, the nature of nationalism in Kenya, the new generational conflicts arising, and the significance of education and Gikuyu ethnicity on his students' path to success.
