Exceptional Lives focuses on real students, real stories and real solutions. It pairs real-life stories about children, their families and their educators with the most recent evidence-based research on inclusion of students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. Exceptional Lives gives you a comprehensive view of the rewards, challenges and triumphs involved in special education today.

The 9th Edition highlights the important themes of ensuring students' progress using research-based instruction and the ethical principle of dignity.
