--Edward J. Kameenai, UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA
"Wong has succeeded in providing detailed descriptions and comments within a book which covers a broad range of topics. Without exception the chapters are clearly written and accessible, and many provide the reader with challenging ideas and practical suggestions. Much of the text transfers easily to the more familiar context of the UK reader, and provides a welcome addition to the literature."
--British Journal of Special Education, Vol. 26, Issue 1, March 1999
