 Great text for learning about Special Education AND for professionals to use for reference! October 15, 2008
This text has great, thorough information on various areas of special needs, and is very user-friendly. As a special education teacher, I borrowed it from another teacher, then decided I had to have a copy for myself...I have used it to refer to for information and to reference from for my graduate courses.

For a textbook, this one is enjoyable to read. It is easy to read and flows smoothly. It is also very informative.
 Terrible Text Book May 7, 2008

This text book was required for a graduate course that I took towards obtaining my special education license. It uses racist sterotypes, unfounded statements, and shows why ignorance continues to permeate American schools. Much of the information is repeated throughout the book and I find it a waste of time. I strongly suggest finding an alternative source of information.
 Too emotional and personal. December 23, 2007
The book has many resources, which would be the only reason I rate it two stars. The authors are too emotionally attached and are too personal. As a graduate psychology student, I would like my texts to be informative without any emotion, there are plenty of other reads for emotion.
Exceptional Lives September 28, 2007
This book is extremely informative and the information is organized well. My professor specifically picked this book because the content covered alot of the history of special education.
