“The greatest strengths of this book are its practicality and the fact that there is a tremendous need for it out there for teachers with no background in special education who are teaching students with special needs.”

J. David Smith
Author, In Search of Better Angels

"This format is highly effective, and the book meets its intended goal of being a portable compenduim of applicable references. Its strength lies in its research base. Rather than providing personal opinions based on anecdotal evidence and case studies, the book discusses principles and techniques that appear to have at least some research support."
