Listening to the Experts
Students with Disabilities Speak Out
By Elizabeth Keefe, Veronica Moore, and Frances Duff ~ 2006
This book features candid discussions by students with a wide range of disabilities about what works and what doesn’t work in special education. They talk about struggles and triumphs with schoolwork, friendships with peers, the meaning of inclusion, their feelings about special education, practices and policies that helped and hindered their progress, characteristics of good teachers and administrators, ingredients of positive classroom environments and their future plans.
Chapters by parents, peers and educational professionals give further insight into the world of special education. This book is an eye opener for any family with a child in special education and for educators or therapists working in schools.
