Issues in Educating Students With Disabilities - John Wills Lloyd

The contributors to this volume represent the most prominent researchers and thinkers on issues in educating students with and without disabilities. The book captures the most current thinking, research, and analysis on the full range of issues in educating students with learning disabilities, from its definition to the most recent case law and interpretations of federal law on educating these students in the general education classroom. The contributors' words speak sufficiently, mellifluously, and exactingly about their contributions to the education of all students, in particular those with disabilities. This book of essays was written to pay tribute to Barbara D. Bateman, who -- along with Sam Kirk -- coined the term "learning disabilities." Its content reflects the significance of her contributions to the field of special education.

"...a thorough, contemporary, empirically grounded, and candid perspective on the challenges and opportunities in special education....It serves as an excellent teaching tool for graduate students and a suitable desk reference for seasoned professionals....a well-written, comprehensive, and inspirational volume on critical issues in educating children with special needs."
