Special Education Handbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This is an excellent, inexpensive overview of Special Education impairements/disorders. It concentrates heavily on the 5 forms of Autism. It breaks down the other impairments in a way a general education teacher can understand for IEP's. I think all teachers should have a copy of this. It helps out us Special Educators to keep you up to date.
Informative for those who have no experience with special ed students

If you're new to the special education world, this book would then be a good read for you. It's simple, opens each secion with a quick story to match the disabilities in the chapter, then goes into breaking down what you need to do for children with disability need from you and what you need to do (leagally) for them. This isn't a tell all book, meaning, pick up more specialized special ed books as needed, but this book is a great start with very helpful, useful, and practical information.
