Review Quotes

Case Studies in Special Education is a must have, for the bookshelf of special education administrators. The use of case studies provides insight from all the parties' perspectives, and provides an unbiased look at the issues. Dr. David Bateman and Jenifer Cline provide sound strategies to keep others from making the same errors and how to correct these pitfalls if you should fall into them.

Case Studies in Special Education requires readers to thoroughly evaluate their own interpretations of appropriate application and translations of the principles of IDEA. Educators and administrators--both preservice and inservice--benefit from engaging in these safe and challenging evaluation exercises. Facilitating group discussions will serve as an excellent assessment opportunity for university instructors preparing educators serving students with exceptionalities.
