good 
2007-09-17
I ordered a few books from different people via express shipping and this one came first. It was new just like they said it was. I'd buy from them again.
Exactly What I Expected 2007-03-09

Good Textbook 
2007-02-23
I feel that this is a really great textbook for a person getting into the special education field. It has a lot of good information and stories about people with disabiities. I recommend this book for aspiring special education teachers.
Excellent Reference and Handbook 
2006-11-09
Turnbull is certainly an expert on special education with many papers and books, and the 5th edition of the book could not be more complete in its treatment of all aspects of special education, including the gifted. All aspects of government regulations brought about by IDEA and No Child Left Behind are reviewed. The only complaint I have is that the writers are not as literate as they could be. A British author would use more precise language, I believe. As it is there is some repetition, wordiness and imprecision, but not enough to rate below four stars.
Terrible Text Book 
2008-05-07
This text book was required for a graduate course that I took towards obtaining my special education license. It uses racist sterotypes, unfounded statements, and shows why ignorance continues to permeate American schools. Much of the information is repeated throughout the book and I find it a waste of time. I strongly suggest finding an alternative source of information.
Too emotional and personal. 
2007-12-23
The book has many resources, which would be the only reason I rate it two stars. The authors are too emotionally attached and are too personal. As a graduate psychology student, I would like my texts to be informative without any emotion, there are plenty of other reads for emotion.

This book is extremely informative and the information is organized well. My professor specifically picked this book because the content covered alot of the history of special education.
Special Education Textbook 2007-09-27
The book is great. Easy to read content about the introducation to teaching special education. The cd/dvd did not work on two bundles that I ordered. In my class 50% of the students also bought this book and the dvd didn't work at all.
Great course text 2007-09-23
Easy read, very informative, case studies idea for getting a better, overall understanding of subject(s). In depth info on legal issues are a plus. A must read for anyone in or considering a career in the special ed field.
