This book is excellent. It really defines the role and job of a special education teacher. In fact my principal was so impressed with it that he ordered it for all the special education teachers in my building. Another principal also ordered it for her special education teachers.

I bought this and one other book to study for a teacher certification test after reading that the official GACE study guides weren't preparing other educators to do well on the SpEds test. (I took the general test for 6-12 grade). This book was great; it did exactly what I intended it to do--help me rock the GACE SpEd exam! My scores were excellent. This book has what you need to get the SpEds perspective as an educator.

The Special Education Survival Guide is one of my top reference books, as I assist in developing my child's I.E.P. The book is up to date, and gives a lot of example's and "what-if's." I couldn't do a proper I.E.P. without this valuable resouce.

I used this book mainly to study for the TeXes Special Education EC-12 Exam and I passed with flying colors. I looked at the other books that were meant to prepare me to pass the exam but they had horrible reviews. When I entered a teacher's forum, two people mentioned using this book to study and pass the exam. The only difference that I found is that the book refers to the MDT and CST team in the evaluation process, whereas Texas identifies these teams as the RTI and the ARD team. Everything else is the same. The book was written for anyone to easily comprehend and it also gave samples of important documents that a special education teacher would need to fill out. Wonderful read!

This book was recommended to me in preparation for the Special Education Certification test. The item was exactly as described and the price was great compared to other places.

Please read this. These kids get lost because schools don't know to look for this. Compare this to your childs report. Good luck to all of you!

It gave me a great insight of what the job is and powerful tools that I could use as a base for the beginning.
I bought this book to present the test, when I finished it I decided to go and buy a second one, it seem for me that it is missing some essential on laws and practical examples that I'd need to pass my exam .And it is however what its missing its complemented with its instructional content.

Received this book in a timely manner and it compliments the Harwell book. Both books hopefully will assiat me in obtaining my Texas Special Education Certification.

You asked me to do this survey so, I did it!
