Including Students with Special Needs takes a non-categorical approach to the topic of inclusionary practices, drawing on the authors' own INCLUDE model to help all students achieve success regardless of their specific category of exceptionality. The third edition continues to offer strategies for teaching students with disabilities in inclusive settings. By drawing on author Marilyn Friend's experience in elementary education and author William Bursuck's in secondary education, this book examines the needs of students with low-incidence and high-incidence disabilities at both the elementary and secondary levels. The text offers a useful organization that first lays a foundation in special education/inclusion and then helps the student apply that information in specific classroom situations.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The information in this text is all valuable and important for the students we teach. Friend and Bursuck have done a comprehensive job in covering the very topics that educators should be aware of, know something about, or master. I commend the authors for such a fine job pulling together this very critical material.”
- Janetta Fleming Bradley, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
“The style of writing is user-friendly. It feels like a conversation between a mentor and teacher is taking place.”
- Melina Alexander, Weber State University
“The use of student examples woven throughout the chapters makes the book very clear and realistic for future teachers who are coming to grips with the idea of inclusion. There are many practical and understandable real-life examples throughout the book.”
- Dr. Genevieve Howe Hay, College of Charleston
“I think this is an excellent text for Introduction/Survey of Special Education courses that are designed to give the learner a broad overview of diversity in the classroom.”
- Jackie Paxton, Ed.D., Arkansas Tech University

Designed for a mainstreaming/inclusion course taken by general education readers to fill their requirement. Although the book does explain federal disability categories, it takes a noncategorical approach for interventions and emphasizes best practices for teaching readers with disabilities in inclusive settings.

This review is from: Including Students with Special Needs: A Practical Guide for Classroom Teachers (4th Edition) (Paperback)
Do you know what "collaboration" means? According to this book it's about talking to your co-workers and making sure to be nice to them....and it takes 10 text-book sized pages to explain that simple fact.
Then there's the section on laws and modern special education concerns, where each major law is given a paragraph and a half of explanation, and the acronyms for these skipped-over laws are used consistently from that point onwards without further explanation. That's really the problem with this book. It's too much for some things, and not enough for others. The writing is about as engaging as the instructions for installing your cable tv, and the stories are well too short to carry any significant meaning. In short...skip it. If this is your classroom textbook, as it was mine, I feel your pain.

Good text on special populations. A lot of good strategies and explanations of terms. I know there is a newer edition so hopefully there was more updates to procedures.
