Written by the best-known authors in the field of family and professional collaboration, this practical book provides instruction on how to empower, collaborate, and advocate for children with special needs. It features family systems perspectives, an emphasis on empowerment through parent/family and professional collaboration, and a multicultural approach. The authors have created a framework that transforms the complex theory of empowerment, and implements techniques into an approach that is easy to understand and to apply. This book does an excellent job of merging research and reality to cover historical and current roles of families and parents; schools as systems; building reliable alliances; family characteristics, interaction, functions, and life cycle; meeting families' basic needs; referring and evaluating for special education; individualizing for appropriate education; extending learning into home and community; attending and volunteering at school; and advocating for systems improvement. This book prepares educators to implement partnerships, not just understand them.

This best-selling volume is widely recognized for its innovation and accessibility: it equips the reader with principles, values, and practices that support teaching the majority of students with disabilities within the scope of general education programs. The authors showcase real students with real disabilities—letting their stories illustrate, as nothing else could, the challenges faced by people with exceptionalities, and the myriad factors those working with them must consider when making decisions about how, where, and what to teach. Through four engaging themes—universal design for learning, inclusion, collaboration, and multicultural awareness—this book explores the processes necessary for using “best practices” to achieve the goals set forth by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997. Packaged with a CD-ROM that contains more than an hour of actual classroom footage, this book actually puts the reader “in the classroom.” This engaging book addresses general learning disabilities, emotional or behavioral disabilities, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, giftedness, mental retardation, severe and multiple disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, traumatic brain injury, communication disorders, hearing loss, and visual impairments. For special education educators, curriculum planners, therapists, school administration employees, and parents of children with special needs.
