Review:

“A useful, quick, and easy-reference resource for school psychologists, teachers, and student welfare coordinators." Author: Karen Trevorrow, Psychologist

"The straightforward checklists provided give classroom teachers confidence to move students towards the therapeutic act of identification." Author: Mark Le Messurier, Private Practitioner

"These checklists will not only provide valuable information to guide planning and programming, but will also serve as a focal point for discussion with families and professionals." Author: Anne Bayetto, Lecturer

"This book is easy to read and should become a handy teacher′s reference guide, not just to generate information on signs of a disability, but to lend guidance on what one should consider when attempting to teach in a way that will allow students to be successful learners."
