1.0 out of 5 stars
Questionable, dated, and unsophisticated,
By Marty (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kids with Special Needs (Paperback)
This "text" vastly oversimplifies the complexities of special needs children and families and in many cases may do more harm than good in training/facilitating future teachers and child care professionals.I am in complete agreement with the previous reviewer as this book should be titled "Basic Disability Awareness Exercises." This sets a very low bar regarding the level we want prospective teachers and child care professionals to tackle in terms of supporting special needs children. If you're looking for a text that is actually comprehensive and genuinely useful beyond simplistic prescriptive ideas/activities regarding this subject I'd recommend Ann Turnbull's text, "Exceptional Lives" Take home message,...there are clearly many other BETTER choices than this book. Exceptional Lives: Special Education in Today's Schools (6th Edition)

Be aware of mistakes,
By ash (Phoenix) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kids with Special Needs (Paperback)
While this book provides many good activities for teachers to use in their classroom to promote disability awareness, the authors' guidelines to use with children with disability are way off base. For example, under 'hearing loss' they suggest not to touch a hearing impaired child to get his attention so he will become conditioned to attend to your voice as a signal. While this will work for some children, it is not an appropriate suggestion for many deaf children who cannot hear anything even with hearing aids. When a mistake is made like this, it makes me reconsider the other recommended guidlines. I would highly suggest that before these guidelines are used, the reader check with the childs' parents or special education teacher to make sure they are appropriate for that child.

Don't bother,
By Sam E Sutherland (San Luis Obispo, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kids with Special Needs (Paperback)
This book is completely useless! It's all about games and events designed to embarass people with disabilities. I only bought it because it was required for a class I am taking. After reading it, I'm sorry that I spent the money.
