Review Quotes
"It is an exceptional book to use as a 'pull it off the shelf again' resource for a practicing special education teacher. It would make a great resource for general education teachers as well. I appreciated that the book covered every area of academics that would normally come up with special education students. I really like this book as a comprehensive resource for strategies to teach to special education students. I felt the book was written for people like me, struggling to do the very best for my students to make their time in school truly of benefit."-- (08/03/2012)
