I have read every page. I needed an update on the education of exceptional students, and I think that this book provided the information I was looking for. It covered psychological learning theories, IEP's, sample case histories, characteristics, also etiologies. The information on etiologies was definitely a plus because not every book on exceptional students carry that information.

For a quick review, this book is a winner. I would definitely recommend it to others who need to brush up. I have read many books on disabilities. However, I'm an oldie that was in need of a refresher. In addition, for anyone who may wish to sit the Praxis tests, it is a high probability that success will be attained on the first try. The book has covered all the aspects of the testing requirements.

If you are looking to pass the Educational of Exceptional Students: 0353...you need to get this book. I didn't know anything about the 0353. This book covers everything!! See, I didn't get my bachelors in education, I had another major. This book covers all the background of the IEPs, IDEA and how it got started, etc...just everything. I would recommend this book to anybody who want to pass 0353. What a great book!!!!! Oh yeah, I passed my test just by getting this book with a higher score than what was required in my state.

It covered everything on the test. However, it also covered a lot of things NOT on the test.
