Overview

Exceptional Learners focuses on the characteristics of students with exceptionalities and proven classroom practices that help meet their individual needs. It examines the psychological, sociological, and medical aspects of disabilities and giftedness, giving both general and special educators a solid introduction to current special education theory, research, and practice. Real-world stories and features help you develop a more sensitive understanding of exceptional learners and their families.

The 15th Edition features an enhanced focus on evidence-based content, including over 400 new references to cutting-edge research. Extensive new coverage of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in schools reflects the importance of promoting equitable educational opportunities for all students. Enhanced coverage of identification and assessment practices provides extensive discussion of RTI's role and effectiveness in assessment along with multitiered systems of support and prevention.
