Educating Exceptional Children prepares regular classroom and special education teachers for their role in meeting the needs of children who require different educational environments. The Ninth Edition has been updated to include new or expanded coverage of diversity; educational reform; school violence and drug use; sensory impairments; classroom interpreters; pervasive developmental disorders; and IDEA legislation. Resources for Further Study tie together three types of resources: References of Special Interest (annotated list of high-interest texts), Journals, and Professional Organizations. Educational Adaptations sections, re-designed for better utility in K-12 classrooms, provide suggestions about how to adapt teaching methods, curriculum, or setting to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
