Through real-life stories about children, their families, and their teachers, and through the use of the most recent evidence-based research on special education, this important book provides students with a comprehensive introduction to special education and its relationship to general education. The sixth edition provides this experience within the framework of three guiding themes: Inclusion, Partnerships, and Universal Design for Learning.

The personal stories that lead off each chapter are engaging and help to make the material easier to digest. However, I detested the layout of the book. The primary content is constantly interrupted with a myriad of sidebars, inserts and margin tips vomited all over the pages. Unfortunately, this is a concept that is all too common in modern textbooks. I find it distracting and insulting. Apparently, the reading public is too stupid to stay engaged with content unless we are dazzled with ?interesting? layouts and Lord knows we can?t digest information unless it?s parceled out to us in small doses. As annoyed as I was by the book?s layout, I was even more annoyed and frustrated with the fact that the book is supposed to come with access to an online learning lab? mycomputerlab.com. The website claims that an access code is supposed to be provided with the book and must be entered in order to use any of the website features. Well, I found no access code anywhere on the book or in the packaging. Considering that the book cost over 0 (excessive for a paperback book printed on cheap paper) I am not interested in paying another to get access to a website that I should already be authorized to use. My 2 star rating reflects 4 stars for information and content, 3 stars for the generally inspirational stories preceding each chapter, 1 star for the hyperkinetic layout, and 0 stars for ripping me off on the access code.

It is well set out and although it is very expensive it is well worth buying as you can use it as a reference tool even after your class or course has ended.

This book has an online companion site, and you need an access code for the site. I?m afraid that the code was on a piece of paper in the plastic wrap that I threw away, because I could find it no where in the book. So I had to pay an additional dollars or so to access the online site. Just be sure to look carefully at the packaging before throwing it away!! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews? |
