The book *Diagnostics as Relationship-Building*, edited by Dr. Susanne Römer and published by Frank & Timme Verlag in Berlin, was compiled during her sabbatical for research in the winter semester of 2016–17.

The authors—professors from the HSZG’s degree programme Special Needs Education/Inclusion Studies and Social Work, such as Prof. Dr. Fuchs, Prof. Dr. Prosetzky, Prof. Dr. Jödecke, Prof. Dr. Hille, Prof. Dr. Störmer, Acting Prof. Dr. Susanne Römer, and bachelor’s graduates in Special Needs Education, Ms. Melanie Schrimpf, Ms. Doreen Stahl, Ms. Lara-Marie Schwineköper, as well as instructors who are also experts in their own right, such as Dr. Carsten Rensinghoff and Nicole Friedrich, have shared their thoughts on their understanding of a modern, inclusively oriented, and inclusively understood Special Needs Education diagnostic approach.

At the same time, the book analyzes the challenge of teaching an inclusive approach to diagnostics in higher education, including how this understanding can be conveyed in a nuanced way through the transfer of theory to practice and how an inclusion-oriented attitude can be adopted and maintained in the process.

This book strengthens the theoretical framework of the Special Needs Education/Inclusion Studies degree programme and builds upon existing module handbooks by incorporating practical and didactic-methodological experiences as well as in-depth theoretical insights from the past 10 years in the Special Needs Education/Inclusion Studies degree programmeInclusion Studies, building upon the existing module handbooks.
