Product Description
As the practice of inclusion expands, the challenges for teachers increase. Here is everything a future teacher needs to know in order to work effectively and sensitively within increasingly diverse elementary and secondary classrooms. The authors explain how to identify children with learning problems and describe numerous tools for general education classes that will help children with disabilities, gifted and talented pupils, students who are at-risk, and culturally or linguistically diverse students improve their academic performance, better manage their behavior, and achieve greater social acceptance. Coverage includes current governmental regulations, the increasing diversity in America's classrooms, specific populations and the types of school problems they most often encounter, as well as techniques for tackling specific problems. For teaching professionals in the field of Special Education.

 Teaching Special Students in the General Education Classes August 13, 2008
The book is pretty detailed and talks about many different laws that back up special students in education. It also talks about all the different types of special students that one ca n have in the general education classrooms. Overall I recommend this book if you have little or no knowledge of what is classified under Special students and how to go about helping them in their Education.
Excellent Service! September 24, 2007
The book I received was brand new at an excellent price and the delivery was surprisingly speedy! I would definitely recommend this seller!
Exceptional Service ! August 7, 2007
The book arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I consider this book to be a good resource for new teachers.
I have no complaints.
Great but Incomplete March 22, 2007
I've been a faithful user of the Lewis & Doorlag book since its first edition. Each subsequent revision has added substance and useful information that makes buying it worthwhile. Of all the introductory texts on special education, this one is the most concise, reader-friendly, practical and up-to-date. It has invaluable teaching strategies and resources to inform the practice of special educators and diagnosticians. The only downside that is consistent across all editions is the unevenness of its content. In virtually every chapter about a given exceptionality, say mental retardation, more emphasis is placed on nature of the disability and teaching strategies than on its causes. Therefore, when using this book as a teaching tool in college, it has to be supplemented with other resources that do more justice to the etiology of each special need.
Informative and Easy-to-Read May 3, 2006

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.
