First of all, I'm throwing all the praise hands for having finished this time.
Secondly, I think this was an okay textbook.it did have a wealth of information about special education and the different disability areas. I learned a lot of things, and I already have a degree and certification in special education and worked two years as a special education teacher. I also liked how it was broken down into the basics of IEPs and Sped Law and assistive tech, and then chapters devoted to each disability area. I don't feel like this book was very accessible, though. As I mentioned, I have SPED experience and it was challenging for me to read. And while I get that it's a graduate textbook, it's written more on a post-doctoral level. The language is erudite in a way that just seems like it was chosen to sound scholarly. I think that those who are pursuing a gen ed degree, and especially those who are coming to the profession through alternative certification and have no experience working with students with disabilities would find this text hard to read and not very practical for classroom application. I would have liked it to be a bit less scholarly and a little bit more practical.
