Exceptional individuals in focus (5th ed)

For courses in Introduction to Exceptionality. Unique in format, length, perspective, and tone, this introduction to exceptionality provides basic information, but goes well beyond the essentials to give students a "feel" for exceptional people and what it is like to work with them.

It acknowledges both the sorrows that arise for individuals with disabilities AND the joys and rewards of working and communicating with a wide range of exceptional children, youth, and adults.
