Teaching Exceptional Children : A Curated Anthology

Teaching Exceptional Children: A Curated Anthology provides pre-service educators with deeper insight into the lives and realities of individuals with exceptionalities, and the challenges they, their families, and their teachers experience. The collection is comprised of illuminating articles from a variety of perspectives that help readers build the critical thinking necessary to thoughtfully consider and approach their work with students with exceptionalities. The anthology is organized into 21 chapters that build conceptually beginning with general information about special education, laws, response to intervention, and individualized education programs. Additional chapters focus on specific exceptionalities such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, communication disorders, and traumatic brain injury, among others. Universal design for learning, teaching multicultural and bilingual students, and working with the parents of students with exceptionalities are covered. Each chapter features an introduction to establish context for the readings and reflection questions to stimulate critical thought and lively discussion. Written to well prepare future educators, Teaching Exceptional Children is an ideal resource for courses and programs in education.
