Exceptional Learners: An Introduction to Special Education (12th Edition)

To be honest, this is probably one of the best textbooks I've ever used. It's a great resource that tells you about various disabilities and methods of educating those with disabilities. It's also very clear about the laws that are currently in place for those with disabilities and gives you clear definitions of everything.I especially like the sections where it talks about real children and their disabilities and the various ways teams have worked together to develop education plans for the children.This is definitely a great resource if your a teacher, studying to be a teacher, or even if you just want to know more about those with disabilities.

I bought this book because I needed it for a class, but found it quite interesting and helpful in learning more about a wide variety of exceptional learners. I did not need the online access for my class, but did not know that until after I had already bought the version with it. Since I did not use the access code I sold this textbook back to Amazon and did not keep it as a reference book. In the future though I will look for a more affordable used copy that I can hold onto.

The book offers a lot of great insight into the world of special education processes, but anyone who is require to take an educational psychology course will probably find it a BIT redundant. Of course there are many more sensitive issues at stake in Hallahan's book than in most Ed. Psych books but the authors tend to use outdated terminology that is common in secondary teaching practices such as "tiered assignments" which is commonly and most universally known as "scaffolding." Great work on the IEP process and maintenance issue though and definitely a must in any teacher's personal library.

Great book and my copy was in great condition. It had a lot of valuable information about students with disabilities, their families, ways to help transition, and resources. This information is important for all teachers to know, not just Special Educators, and I highly recommend it!

Exactly what I was looking for.

Missing 50 pages from the middle of the book. I couldn't return it because it's a textbook. Instead I relied on help from a classmate. I will never again risk buying a textbook through amazon.

I had to have this book for college class and it was very interesting to read and learn from. If you work in the educational system it is a great book to educate yourself more about special needs children. I was happy Amazon had it in a rental and it came in very good condition.

This book is a great introduction to the field of exceptional learners. As an educator with no experience in this field, this book has led me to research many of the different types of exceptional students and I find myself much more informed and better able to assist students in my classes.
