Excellent Help for Teachers,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Survival Kit for the Special Education Teacher (J-B Ed: Survival Guides) (Paperback)
As a teacher of Special Education, when I found this book, I knew I had found something great. I found it to be a great help in understand IQ scores, parts of IQ scores, and disabilities. There were very specific ideas to help students in your classroom with various disabilities. There was a great section for parents and helping parents learn to accept their child's abilities and disabilities. I bought this book for myself and later lent it out, I never had it returned. I talked my school into ordering one for every Special Ed teacher in our school. All of us have found this to be an excellent reference.
