Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Special Educator's Book of Lists (Paperback)
It has some useful information in it, but beware that it uses outdated laws (IDEA 97). Other info is useful, for example, the characteristics of children with the listed disability.
5.0 out of 5 stars

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Special Educator's Book of Lists (Paperback)
While this book contains information relative to the work of a special education teacher,the publication date is enough years ago that the information is not current and/or such common practice that it renders the book redundant and unnecessary as a "must have". I would consider purchasing arevised/updated version.
