Overall good content for students in the area of children with delays or disabilities; right amount of 'additional materials' without distracting from the content. 

Anne M. Ryan
St. Petersburg College

Very thorough; uses multiple mediums throughout the book for understanding and mastery; learning objectives are clearly stated; key terms/vocabulary are included in each chapter... I think this is a very comprehensive book, and I am seriously considering switching to it. It can be a stand-alone text with very little or no additional materials needed to enhance the course objectives.

A strong introductory textbook for Early Intervention programs.

I find this book to be extremely well-written. The information is clearly delineated, and it is very explicit which allows students to easily grasp crucial concepts. The physical layout of the book is appealing with graphics, tables of information, and images that are easy to follow. It includes current information especially with legislation. It also allows for discussion of current issues in special education. All of the embedded examples help to highlight the information and make concepts clear.

Generally, I am satisfied with this text (have REALLY liked the e-Text version), and from my students' evaluations, they appear to gain from the course and text.
