Ugh sooo boring. For such an interesting topic, the material could have been far better presented.

Inclusion of Learners with Exceptionalities by Nancy L. Hutchinson is a really helpful book for anyone in education. It breaks down how to include and support students with different needs in a way that’s easy to get. The examples make it feel practical, not just theory. Definitely a great textbook if you want to learn how to make classrooms better for everyone.
