5.0 out of 5 stars I find this book to be excellent for my class., January 5, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Bakersfield, California) - See all my reviews

This book gives my students the information that they need in order to serve their students' needs in career and transition services. It covers all age groups and offers valuable assessment, instruction and curriculum information which can be applied in their classrooms. It is up-to-date in its approaches to the issues facing special educators. All in all it will be a book that they will keep as a valuable resource.
