This accessible and expansive book showcases how an appreciation of place, traditional crafts, farming and transformative education offers a wider route to human well-being for all. The authors outline the different fields of the "Practical Skills Therapeutic Education" method, which includes developing practical skills, learning the ecology of the farm and understanding therapeutic education, holistic care, health and self-leadership. Taking the reader on a tour of Ruskin Mill's many extraordinary provisions across Britain, and going deeper in conversation with its founder, Aonghus Gordon, this book is an outstanding story of creative thinking in an age of narrow focus on classrooms and written examinations, presenting a transformative perspective on education and care. Being grounded in work supporting young people with complex additional needs, it provides a rare insight into the work of one of the world's leading charities working with neurodiversity. With its non-specialist language, "Place, Craft and Neurodiversity" offers ideas and resources for work in different areas of education and therapy. It will inspire parents, educators and care workers around the globe"--Provided by publisher.Special educationGreat BritainPeople with disabilitiesEducationGreat BritainHandicraftTherapeutic useGreat BritainOrganic farmingGreat BritainArt therapyGreat BritainOccupational therapyGreat BritainGroup psychotherapyGreat BritainSpecial educationPeople with disabilitiesEducationHandicraftTherapeutic useOrganic farmingArt therapyOccupational therapyGroup psychotherapy371.90941EDU002000EDU026010EDU048000bisacshGordon Aonghus1955-1771571Cox Laurence1609312NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910889700003321Place, craft and neurodiversity4262277UNINA
