'The real strength of Richard Gargiulo's text is that it does not overwhelm the readers. Learning the vast - and often complex - field of special education is no easy task. Yet, the text meets this challenge head-on' - Bruce A Shields, Ph.D., Daemen College. 'Given the myriad of introductory textbooks on the market, I have continued using Gargiulo's text as it offers a clear, understandable overview of exceptionality and a wealth of resources that compliment my instruction' - Emiliano C Ayala, PhD, Sonoma State University. 'The First Person features are very well done and the students love them!' - Michelle LaRocque, PhD, Florida Atlantic University. "Special Education in Contemporary Society, Third Edition" provides a highly readable and research-based introduction to special education. Richard Gargiulo believes teachers need more than just academic knowledge about exceptionality - they need an awareness and understanding of the human side of exceptional students and their families. This book is a comprehensive text with a people first approach that gives pre-service teachers a first-hand look into the lives of exceptional children, their families, and their mentors. This title shares the honest and engaging first person accounts of individuals with disabilities in First Person features. It provides targeted teaching strategies and suggestions with New Effective Instructional Practices boxes. It covers and integrates INTASC and CEC standards and Praxis II core principles. It incorporates new coverage of Deaf-blindness. It includes new and updated content in the key pedagogical features throughout: chapter-opening narratives, 'First Person' boxes, 'Suggestions for the Classroom', 'Making Inclusion Work', 'Learning Activities', and 'Technology Tips'. This title is accompanied by High-Quality Ancillaries: new and comprehensive companion website with student and instructor resource materials including chapter quizzes, full text SAGE journal articles and activities, flashcards and more; and Instructor's Resource CD-ROM with a test bank, PowerPoint lectures, computerized testing, and more. "Special Education in Contemporary Society, Third Edition" is an introductory text for the Introduction to Special Education and Introduction to Exceptionality courses.
