"It is difficult to think of a more comprehensive and helpful book on the complex dimensions of special education. The power of this book is two-fold. First, it offers rich, up-to-date information. Even more importantly, the book was created by caring individuals who, themselves, have experienced firsthand the challenges of teaching children with exceptionalities as well as having lived through the experience of being parents of children with special needs. This book is indeed a gift to all educators and parents who seek the understanding required to support children with exceptionalities today."
