The approach is unique in that information is presented in several case studies with real-life examples constructed from the authors' experiences. ... Overall, this is a well-written book with a unique perspective on disability in today's schools. Summing Up: Recommended." - C. Grissom, Marian University, in CHOICE, May 2014
