"I am most impressed by the high quality of the information and broad range of coverage of this text, which, while thorough and rigorous, has many appealing features and a writing style that is easy to understand and reader-friendly. I plan to use this book in my own work, as it provides an up-to-date source that helps the reader understand the importance of inclusion and social justice as well as effective instructional settings and practices for intellectually disabled students."
