I agree with what some other reviewers said; I used this for a college class to earn my special education certification and endorsement. This book has good, solid info.

However, it often meanders with miscellaneous, unhelpful information. I feel like I have to wade through I lot of extra, unneeded info to get to the good stuff.


For reference, the last text book I read for my other special ed class was dense, but every single word mattered, every sentence was full of information; there was no filler. It was overwhelming that each sentence was important and nothing wasted (although a lot was repeated, but it was at least solid info).

With this text, I feel like the author tried to make it more “readable” or needed to hit a word count, or something. Still solid info and I learned a lot, but a little extra fluff I had to work through this one also. This feels overwhelming in the sense it needs a lot of words to deliver a bit of knowledge. Again, good info, but this could have been written or presented a little differently.

Decent book. Very informative and while it lacks some interest and can seem dull for what seems like pages at a time which can make it difficult once you get through the those it did get better. It would just have a slump or valleys if you will of dull and then peeks or hills of great information.
I would however recommend.
