Sub-Title: A Listing of Educational and Training Facilities (Directory for Exceptional Children) For Chrildren With: Orthopedic and Neurological Disabilities Learning Disabilities Emotional Disturbances Speech and Language Impairments Hearing Impairments Visual Impairments Mental Retardation Autism/PDD This new 15th edition is a comprehensive survey of 2500 schools, facilities and organizations across the US serving children and young adults with developmental, emotional, physical and medical disabilities. With indexex cross-referencing a range of disabilities, this work is an invaluable aid to parents and professionals seeking the optimal environment for special-needs children. Most of the book, pages 113-1015, consist of listings of the schools. The listings contain the name, a very brief description of the programs, location, contact information, and a paragraph describing the overall mission of the school. This section is broken down by state. At the beginning of the book is a listing of the program emphasis at all of the schools (about 70 pages). The emphasis is broken down into ten general categories, and an indication is made to indicate a Primary or Secondary emphasis. This allows the quick identification of schools by specialty that can then be investigated more completely in the following section. Finally there is a small section of advertising placed by some of the schools. This is easily the most complete book of it's type available.
