About this title

Synopsis:

“Over the years the Hallahan and Kauffman text has remained a constant and credible source for our candidates seeking certification. As the legislation is updated, the text has been updated to reflect the changes, issues, and trends. Students taking the state certification exams report that review of the text and practice questions before sitting for a state exam actually helped them achieve the desired passing score.”

–Maribeth Montgomery Kasik, Governors State University

Exceptional Learners is an outstanding introduction to the characteristics of exceptional learners and their education, emphasizing classroom practices as well as the psychological, sociological, and medical aspects of disabilities and giftedness. In keeping with this era of accountability, all discussions and examples of educational practices are grounded in a sound research base.

What’s New to this Edition?

NEW Assessment of Progress sections provide readers with category-specific information about Progress Monitoring, Outcome Measures, Testing Accommodations, and Alternative Assessment. Significantly reorganized Chapter 2, "Integration, Inclusion, and Support of Positive Outcomes," provides new information on Universal Design, use of technologies, differentiated instruction, response to intervention (RTI), and assessment of academic progress and student outcomes. Increased coverage of response to intervention (RTI) emphasizes the importance of multi-tiered assessment in accordance with changes to federal law (Chapters 2 & 6). Relevant multimedia assets are incorporated into the text to help students improve their mastery of key concepts, including the MyEducationLab website, created specifically to accompany the Exceptional Learners, Eleventh Edition.
