Families: An Essential Component of Special Education

Families: An Essential Component of Special Educationfocuses on fundamental pedagogies implemented with families of students with disabilities resulting in positive outcomes. Special education has changed over the years since its inception because of legislation, new trends, and current research investigations and this volume will address the importance of involving families in the special education process impacting teachers, administrators and schools regarding students with disabilities.

This is an excellent resource for special educators, administrators, mental health clinicians, school counsellors, and psychologists, addressing how incorporating families is essential to the success of educational programming for students with disabilities.
