Customer Reviews

The Exceptional Child, is a great book for teachers.

This textbook helped with writing papers for my class and knowledge needed to know.

Excellent textbook and general info book for teachers

I have been teaching a course on Exceptional Development for a university for about 5 years now, and have used this textbook all the way through. This book is FANTASTIC. It is easy to read, easy to follow, and set up in a logical manner. It gives a nice broad overview of exceptional development, and I recommend my students keep this book to refer to in the futre as well. Highly recommended!
