    I am a contract instructor who uses this book for an undergraduate level “Exceptional Children in the Classroom” class. I chose this text because it is practical and not as dry as Heward, another widely respected author of special education texts. Many strategies are provided for meeting the needs of students with disabilities as well as gifted students, those who are at risk, and those who are linguistically and culturally diverse.

    An excellent reference tool for everyone involved in education. It provides updated information on special students, ways to help them learn more effectively, and a wealth of resources for those who work with them. Each chapter is introduced with real life examples of those students we often encounter and know not how to deal with and tips and suggestions on how to teach them more effectively. This book also helped me clarify several legal concepts as well as the most recent terminology used in the area of special education, and it certainly helped me ace my course!

    I originally purchased this book for an education courss. This book offered insight on the inclusion of Special students in a general education class. It offers insights on how to best teach students with various needs including learning disabilites, physical disabilties, and other disabilties. As a teacher it taught me what my resources are. I learned the benefits of inclusion and the positive results that special students need. If you are taking this class they also offer outlines for every chapter at the cwx.prenhall.website as well as testing resources. This edition is almost exactly the same as the 6th.

    The information contained is critical for modern teachers. However, the writing is unfocused and disorganized. Very few textbook writers have learned the value of writing succinctly. A good editor would correct this.

    This book is frustrating to read full of outdated references and has a terrible index. I cannot believe I had to waste money on this book for my class. Someone please make a better textbook. Trying to read this book is like putting a puzzle together. Each paragraph jumps from one area to the another. Right when you think your about to find the information you need to support your essay the books jumps into an unrelated tangent. This is the worst textbook I have ever had and I could not figure out why until I read the authors’ biography. Both authors are from the school right across town. Surprise, Surprise. If you need to take a special education course and it is requiring this textbook find another text book to use. You will be glad you did.
