This review is from: Life Beyond the Classroom: Transition Strategies for Young People with Disabilities (Hardcover)
Definitive and current, well-written, an easy read. Wish this book had a bit more on transition for gifted LD kids. Other than that, it was exactly what I needed and was useful in my coursework - much more useful than my professor alone.Life Beyond the Classroom: Transition Strategies for Young People With Disabilities
