Book Description
This book explores the online behavior and safeguarding of children with special education needs (SEN) in the digital world. Founded in research which evidences key stakeholder perspectives, this book informs and guides stakeholders towards sensibly balancing risk and opportunities online with an understanding that SEN children may face some unique challenges that can place them at greater risk. To develop a child-centered approach, the authors employ an ecosystems theory approach which considers child development as a system of interrelated relationships affected by multiple levels of surrounding environment, drawing upon Bronfenbrenner’s seminal work and positioning the research within the field of education.
