"I found this book to extremely valuable as a college special education textbookIt is well organized, contains detailed and useful information for teachers. The sections containing firsthand accounts of people with various disabilities is very helpful. The book contains valuable information about the history of special education and current practices in the field. The Appendix at the end of the book regarding CEC Standards correlated with each chapter is useful for professors. The inclusion of teacher friendly sections in each chapter makes this a superior book for use in special education classes; these sections include "effective instructional practices", "Making inclusion work" and "suggestions for the classroom." Each chapter contains useful tables and figures filled with practical information for teachers. Finally the end of chapter has a useful summary, list of key terms, study questions and a Student Study Site for students to access online with other resources to assist and enhance student learning...I was very impressed by it." -- Dr. Brian Abrams QC, CUNY 20110216
