This new video has been written and filmed by Tom Brown who produced Broken Toy for older children. Suitable for age range 5 - 9, it tells the moving story of a girl called Teresa who is teased because she is fat. One of her classmates risks her own popularity in order to stick up for Teresa.

A crisis provokes Teresa to run away and this shocks the whole group into realising how much distress the teasing has caused.

This work on the nervous system includes such areas as the five senses, and the senses unnoticed by the Greeks; the physics of the nerve impulse; and the anatomical bases of motivation, pain, the endocrine glands and hormones, sensation and perception, and the higher nervous activities.

Stuttering has long been regarded as one of the most puzzling human phenomena. Owing to our limited knowledge of its apparently complex nature, it has been difficult to apply readily what is known about other forms of behavioural disorder in order to advance our understanding and treatment of stuttering. However, this book asserts that relatively recent applications of the concepts of neuropsychology to dyslexia, a comparable communication disorder, offer reasonable and functional insights into the development of stuttering behaviours.|The primary objectives of this book are to provide rational views on the neuropsychologic and neurophysiologic bases for: the stutterer's repeated occurrences of their stuttering behaviours; the stubborn resistance of these behaviours to traditional, past, and current therapy methods; and the need for clinic programmes to utilize practical psycho-social means for implementing the neuropsychological approach in order to obtain more consistent beneficial therapy results.

Contents:

Setting the stage; the neuropsychology of dyslexia; general overview of factors relating to developmental stuttering, the neuropsychologic bases for the formation of developmental stuttering; the neuropsychologic bases for the repeated episodes of stuttering behaviours; a psycho-social approach for treating developmental stuttering.

This video and Inset workbook have been developed from a successful, thought-provoking school based programme to deal with bullying. It asks staff to question existing practice, challenging the idea that support for victims or punishment of bullies will prevent future incidents.

Since we ran the first "Stamp Out Bullying" day in 1990 we have joined many schools to help them organise anti-bullying days for pupils. This publication is a collection of activities, processes and programmes have been put together to help schools organise either a single awareness day or a series of shorter workshop sessions for pupils.

* Practical aspects of antibullying work

* Suggested timetables

* Ideas for whole school "keynote" sessions

* Facilitators' instructions for group activities

* Copiable worksheets and overhead foils

The programmes are suitable for secondary and upper primary use.
