5.0 out of 5 stars Education of Exceptional Students, May 13, 2009

By	M. Mcclean - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have read every page. I needed an update on the education of exceptional students, and I think that this book provided the information I was looking for. It covered psychological learning theories, IEP's, sample case histories, characteristics, also etiologies. The information on etiologies was definitely a plus because not every book on exceptional students carry that information.

For a quick review, this book is a winner. I would definitely recommend it to others who need to brush up. I have read many books on disabilities. However, I'm an oldie that was in need of a refresher. In addition, for anyone who may wish to sit the Praxis tests, it is a high probability that success will be attained on the first try. The book has covered all the aspects of the testing requirements.

By	I got into Grad School with this book (Northeast Louisiana) - See all my reviews

If you are looking to pass the Educational of Exceptional Students: 0353...you need to get this book. I didn't know anything about the 0353. This book covers everything!! See, I didn't get my bachelors in education, I had another major. This book covers all the background of the IEPs, IDEA and how it got started, etc...just everything. I would recommend this book to anybody who want to pass 0353. What a great book!!!!! Oh yeah, I passed my test just by getting this book with a higher score than what was required in my state.
