An informative, accessible, and interesting introduction to the ongoing story of special education
Special education is an ongoing story of people -- of exceptional children, of the families of children with special needs, and of the teachers who work with them. Exceptional Children: An Introduction to Special Education focuses on 15 experienced teachers to give readers first-person insight into this diverse field. It also details, step-by-step, how special educators use highly effective, research-based practices to promote student achievement in their classrooms. The 12th Edition includes new high-leverage practices feature that will help aspiring educators model research-based practices and priorities. New transition features present a range of strategies for effective transition-focused instruction. Updated content in every chapter reflects the current professional practices, trends, and research that define the exciting and ever-evolving field of special education.
