Library Journal Review
The authors of this practical guide each have over 25 years of experience in the field of special education, Pierangelo as a classroom teacher, psychologist, and administrator, Jacoby as a special education teacher and school principal. They open with a discussion of child development, screening procedures for suspected disabilities, and early (preschool) intervention. In subsequent chapters, they describe individual education plans, related counseling and therapy services, and 12 major types of disability. To conclude, the authors deal with common medication information, practical parenting suggestions, and the transition of special students to adult life. The five appendixes contain a wealth of information, including a glossary of special education terms, forms used by the Committee on Special Education, organizations and publications for special children, and various types of special education tests. Their guide gives parents all the pertinent information they need to navigate the many rules and regulations involved in the special education process. Highly recommended for public libraries.Barbara S. Meagher, Central Connecticut State Univ., New Britain (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
