    This book is great for the first time special ed students, however it’s written in a dull manor and isn’t very engaging.

    Well written,with open points pf view, quite refreshing to totally take the side of the “underdog”. Written with sensitivity.

    I purchased this book for a college class. It is both knowledgeable and easy to follow. It provides information that is valuable to any future educator of children with disabilities.

    This is a great resource for special education. It covers all the special labels in depth as well as gifted children.

    This seems to be a great book! I bought it for class to learn more about current rules and laws in contempoary special education. It is very thorough! The only reason why I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because I didn’t receive a CD with mine, and I think it is supposed to accompany it.
