greatness, just like cheese September 29, 2008
A. Larson (North Dakota)
I loved this book. And I love cheese. If I had to choose between the two of them, however, I would have to choose cheese because I love cheese. On second thought, perhaps I would read the book while eating a wad of Limburger and Liver pate.

Warning September 9, 2008
Student
Even though it is a new book and says mylabschool series, it does not come with a mylabschool access card code. So if you need that for your class look elsewhere.

Great book August 27, 2008
Astrid Rodrigues (Chicago, USA)
This is a great resource for special education. It covers all the special labels in depth as well as gifted children.

Good text book for Grad school Special Ed class July 7, 2008
K. Chesny (Connecticut, USA)
This seems to be a great book! I bought it for class to learn more about current rules and laws in contempoary special education. It is very thorough! The only reason why I am giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is because I didn't receive a CD with mine, and I think it is supposed to accompany it.

Special Education, Contemporary Perspectives January 27, 2008
Debbie K. (Missouri)
This is the book every special education major needs to know the things that are important for your teaching. It covers many disabilities and many of the questions on the Praxis are covered in this book.

I didn't get the CD with mine. I didn't feel I needed it. I had a 50/50 consensus that it was important. There were some things in it that could help you practice, so if you are not sure of a lot of things in special ed, get the CD. My teacher required it and I never used it and someone told me they never opened theirs up. Its a matter of preference.
