Students with disabilities show a wide range of differences. Their educational needs are also varied from category to category and also from person to person. So that it is essential that teachers should have special skills and approaches to deal with each category. The system of special education programs and services for these students are complicated and difficult to understand.

This book is written to make this complex educational system more understandable and workable for the people who help children with disabilities. It is simple, useful, and concise reference that summarizes the many facets of special education. The book is intended primarily for teachers, but it should also be of value to school counselors, psychologists, related services specialists, administrators and parents.
