Maintaining its widely respected and unique focus on the roles/responsibilities of a variety of professionals (in education, psychology, counseling, and human services), the new edition of Human Exceptionality emphasizes how cross-professional collaboration can enhance the lives of exceptional individuals and their families as it strengthens and supports the work of the professionals themselves.After a detailed six-chapter introduction to the foundations of human exceptionalities, the succeeding twelve chapters focus on the definitions, classifications, prevalence, causation, and characteristics of all the major categories of exceptionality. Each categorical chapter concludes with practical material on the educational, medical, and social services aspects of collaborating professionally for and working with exceptional persons. An excellent resource for teachers-in-training, in-service teachers, and human services professionals, the text's unique, human approach combines up-to-date research, detailed personal stories about exceptional persons, and fresh pedagogical features that help students apply the material in each chapter.

Not bad for a college textbook of an intro class,

This review is from: Human Exceptionality: School, Community, and Family (Hardcover)
Every professor knows that assigned reading is rarely read by students. I purchased this book for an introductory course to special education. I can actually say that I read at least 90% of this book, and it was an easy read. At times I wanted more information on a subject than what was given. I do realize that this is a broad overview of many types of exceptional students, so brevity was appreciated. I would recommend a professor to use this book as an entry point to special education courses because it is short and an easy read. However, I will not be keeping this book on my shelf because the features on each type of disorder are too brief and generalized to be useful as a reference in my classroom practices.
