This review is from: Schooling Children with Down Syndrome: Toward an Understanding of Possibility (Special Education Series) (Hardcover)

This book is not only an important piece of research but also a great story of gifted teachers and unique learners. This book is beyond throught-provoking...it is ground-breaking. Those who read it will learn much about possibilities for people with disabilities and their teachers and for schooling itself.
