4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent resource, March 10, 2007

By	sped teacher and mommy-to-be "Kaye" (VA) - See all my reviews

This is a good book that allows you to brush up on your facts or share with others. I actually purchased this book to share with the paraprofessionals in my building and I think it has been an excellent resource. It doesn't get into complex terms and sticks to the have-to-knows.

1.0 out of 5 stars No Show, December 16, 2007

By	C. Cornely - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well, I ordered this book well before before Christmas and it was in stock when I ordered it. Three weeks went by and I had still not received it, so I called and was told they were all out of them and would not have anymore in until January...way after I needed it. I was not happy that I had to call and inquire about where my book was, especially since no one had the nerve to call me and tell me it was out of stock. Luckily, I got my money refunded.
