Recenzii

"The author does an excellent job of organizing the information in the context of current, relevant research-based best practices for all students as well as special populations, supports and services that are on target for the challenges school schedulers face under current education accountability policies. The inclusion of detailed examples and scenarios is icing on the cake!"
"The book is well organized, starting with the table of contents. It paints a clear picture of what the book contains. This should be a great book for educators that are making decisions to improve the lives of students in special programs and those that need that special push to be successful in life."
