Education for All is a collection of diverse perspectives of the many parents, individuals, and professionals involved in the development of exceptional education principles, policy, and procedures over the last forty years. Chapters are written by well-known professionals who address current issues such as early intervention, family collaborations, implementation of special education law, and disproportionate representation of minorities in special education programs. An added feature that makes this book unique is the inclusion of an insightful essay at the end of each chapter.
