This book is a little "clinical" at times for the average (non college graduate) adult, but it basically explains the different children's learning disabilities and how they are diagnosed. I have learned there is a wide variety of disabilities that are diagnosed with both psychological and medical testing and observance of the child by doctors, mental health personnel, therapists, parents and teachers. I have twin grandsons, age 3, who were born premature at 26 1/2 weeks and are delayed in speech and comprehension. They are now starting a preschool program to further their treatment and I wanted to try to understand more of what type of schooling they are doing.
I'm a School Psychologist and need resources that are established sources of expert information on development and disabilities. Batshaw is the gold standard. I was first introduced to this book by while working on a project at a University Centers for Disabilities while in graduate school. I was told this book should always be on my bookshelf and over ten years later I couldn't agree more. Thanks Dr. Batshaw for your excellent work.
This book covers pretty much everything. It's clear and easy to understand. It's scientific and emotional. I'm keeping this book forever.
Highly technical. I read it for my Special Education class in my Early Childhood Education major, and it's too medical for what I need to know, but it was interesting.
Excellent reference text (but it should contain a full chapter on evidence-based treatment of music therapy). I own all previous editions.
Whatever you need to know about children with disabilities. A lot of terminology though.
I thought I'd receive the book faster because the origin city was Munster, Indiana, which is close to the greaterChicago land area. But, I did get in within the parameters of the stated shipping dates. I did pay the higher shipping rate.
Arrived on time! :) really informative
