Review Quotes:
If you could only read one book, select this one! The authors discuss how school counselors work effectively with exceptional and gifted students. Topically, no stone is left unturned. Topics include disability legislation and theory, laws and ethics, counselor roles, family support, early intervention, departing the K-12 system, self-advocacy, ADA and universal standards, and at-risk behaviors.

The field has been waiting for this book! Timely, comprehensive, and innovative: a practical resource for current and future school counselors. I appreciate the unique and important content in this book, such as self-advocacy and the post-secondary transition, as well as including gifted learners, a group often overlooked. I look forward to using this book in my school counseling courses, as we discuss students with exceptional needs.
