`This is a book that ought to be included in every teacher′s opening packet each school year. An uncomplicated, easy-to-read guide to the exceptional child′s needs and rights in the regular classroom that is at once comprehensive and accessible′ - Joseph Staub, Resource Specialist Teacher, Thomas Starr King Middle School, Los Angeles, California

Teachers are often unprepared to work with students with special needs, particularly those with disabilities who are placed in regular classrooms. Brief Reference of Student Disabilities... With Strategies for the Classroom provides an overview of current laws, and describes in detail the nature and characteristics of the disabilities and health disorders teachers are likely to encounter. The book suggests practical strategies educators can use to prepare the classroom and promote positive school experiences for all students.
