Would you be surprised to know, on average, one child in every class of thirty is colour blind? Colour blindness can be a barrier to learning across the whole curriculum, yet most schools cannot identify all their colour blind children, and practitioners often cannot recall teaching a child with it.

This essential guide explores colour blindness, an often-unrecognised special educational need and disability (SEND).

It gives you the tools and confidence to ensure children with colour blindness can reach their full potential. It helps you to understand what the condition is so you can easily make your teaching accessible and inclusive to all colour blind children, undiagnosed or not.

The book:

• Offers detailed and practical guidance for identifying colour blindness and catering for it from early years through to higher education and beyond.
• Focuses on simple and easy-to-implement strategies to ensure colour blind children are not disadvantaged, dispelling myths and misguidance along the way.
• Discusses how educators and parents can work together to raise the child’s self-esteem, seeking solutions and interventions that do not single them out, or in fact remove colour as a useful tool for those that see it normally.

This accessible book is vital reading for SENDCos, teachers and classroom assistants, from nursery through to upper secondary, as well as the parents and carers of colour blind children.
