About this title

From the Back Cover

“One of the strongest features of this text is the constant reference to real life classroom situations to illustrate an instructional strategy or concept.”
— Paul R. Malanga, University of South Dakota

“I strongly encourage the students to be active readers, and model for them methods of doing so. My experience with the Henley text is that it is amenable to such textual reading, and I commend it for that.”
—Carol Robinson, Indiana State University

“I have found that this text is the best for meeting my needs for this [Mild/Moderate Disabilities] course.”
—Dawn R. Speidel, West Liberty State College
