Rezensionen

"The authors' extensive international experience will facilitate effective collaboration between educators, professionals and parents to create effective programs for students with disabilities."

Temple Grandin, author of Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions

"I expected this book to speak to my intellect and to my practice. The best professional texts do that. Boll and Ly's Navigating Special Education Relationships went beyond. It spoke to my heart. The best colleagues do that."

Cornelius Minor, Brooklyn-based educator and author

"Navigating Relationships in Special Education reminds us that when educators work together and believe in the goodness

of people, we can truly make a difference in this world."

Tim Villegas, Director of Communications, Maryland Coalition for Inclusive Education (MCIE)

Founder of Think Inclusive

"It is difficult to think of a more comprehensive and helpful book on the complex dimensions of special education. The power of this book is two-fold. First, it offers rich, up-to-date information. Even more importantly, the book was created by caring individuals who, themselves, have experienced firsthand the challenges of teaching children with exceptionalities as well as having lived through the experience of being parents of children with special needs. This book is indeed a gift to all educators and parents who seek the understanding required to support children with exceptionalities today."

Executive Director EARCOS (East Asia Regional Council of Schools)

"The authors provide an honest and important discussion with regards to many factors which make it difficult for children with Autism Spectrum and learning differences to be diagnosed and educated within our public and private schools. They also offer important tips to parents to help them anticipate some of the hurdles they may encounter as well as tips for how best to navigate through them."
