"This book will quickly become the must-have resource for all special and general educators. From cover to cover, Karten addresses all aspects of the inclusive environment, beginning with the inclusive mind-set and working through environment, structure, content, and most important, the idiosyncratic adolescent. The online resources throughout this easy-to-read text greatly enhance its value today as well as its longevity into the future." (Harold M. Tarriff, Director of Special Services 2008-11-10)
