Review:

"I have used this text for over 8 years in my undergraduate course titled, 'Behavior Design, Intervention, and Classroom Management.' The chapters on Children with Special Concerns and Exceptional Children raise our students' levels of awareness of the diversity they will be encountering in today's classrooms. In addition, the theories and techniques discussed offer methods to prospective teachers, special educators, and school counselors on how to interact with and effectively manage students who are behaviorally challenged. Finally, the students are using the text in the field because of the resources offered at the end of each chapter. Bravo to the authors for this updated edition!"
