"I have reviewed several other texts in this area and continue to find the Gargiulo text to be the best suited for my purposes. The depth and breadth of coverage as well as the treatment of teaching and instructional issues as only a part of the overall content makes this text perfect for a course which enrolls students from majors both in education and without."

"I plan on using the book as long as it is available...I am enjoying teaching this class for the first time in 5 years because of this book!"

"I chose this book, as I liked the focus of not only the disability itself, but good person-first narratives, and good teaching ideas of how to support students with disabilities."

Excellent text with up-to-date information. Tables, charts, first person accounts, reflecting on standards, learning activities both reinforce and broaden application of information. This is an excellent book, even if you are not taking or teaching a college course -- it is a reference source for professionals.

It is geared more toward education majors and we use it for students going into the ministry to give them an understanding of children with special needs.

I have used the 3rd edition of the Gargiulo text and think it is very well organized and the content is thorough. I think the additions to the 4th edition add value to the aplication of principles and information covered in the text.
