Summary:

"Special Education in Contemporary Society: An Introduction to Exceptionality is designed for use by preservice and inservice teachers who will specialize in special education as well as those who teach students with special needs in the general classroom. The text provides a rare glimpse into the lives of persons with exceptionalities, as well as their families and teachers. Focusing on a person-first orientation to human exceptionalities across the life span, the text employs a traditional organization beginning with four foundations chapters that introduce teachers to special education, followed by ten "categorical" chapters each on a different "disability." Each categorical chapter features sections on transition, cultural diversity, technology, instructional strategies, and family considerations"-- Provided by publisher.
