 Boring November 16, 2008
Exceptional Children is full of information but it is not an easy read. I found it to be uninteresting and had to read sections multiple times to focus on the main points.
 great condition! September 10, 2008
This book was in excellent condition: like new! It was affordable and it really helped out a poor college student! Thank You!

Unreadable because unnecessary educational jargon. The author, with or without supports in a diverse, holistic, or deficit-challenged writing community should assess George Orwell's essay Politics and the English Language.
Great overview May 30, 2008
I have a master's degree in special education but have been in the business world for over twenty years. This book has given me a new zest for the field of special education. The insights give each side of discussions and leaves the reader to make decisions. The on line labs are excellent. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for wide views of the current challenges and progress in the field of special education.

This is a great book for teachers to learn more about dealing with children who have exceptionalities. If you are a new teacher or an experienced teacher dealing with inclusion, this book will be perfect for you!
