Synopsis
Designed for an introductory course in special education, this book explores the major psychological and educational characteristics of handicapped children, and details the major educational approaches used with them. Surveying the entire scope of the field - from mental retardation, learning disabilities, emotional/behavioural disorders and communication disorders to hearing impairment, visual impairment, physical disabilities and giftedness - the book covers each area of exceptionality, examining definition, prevalence, causes, psychological and educational characteristics, medical and sociological aspects of disabilities, educational methods, early intervention, transition and classroom teaching techniques. The book also discusses society's attitudes toward handicapped people, expanding treatment from school to community in each chapter. Thus, it demonstrates how practitioners, researchers, legislators and persons with disabilities themselves must address the need for more and better programming for individuals with disabilities.
