Case
Studies of Minority Student Placement in Special Education by
Beth Harry,
Elizabeth P. Cramer,
Janette K. Klingner
Synopsis
This book features vivid case studies that bring to life real children,
school personnel, and family members from the bestselling book, Why Are
So Many Minority Students in Special Education? Once again addressing
the disproportionate placement of minority students in special education
programs, this new book includes the voices and perspectives of all
stakeholders to show the tremendous complexity of the issues and the
dilemmas faced by professionals, family members, and children.
Challenging questions and scenarios are offered at the end of each case
study to provide thoughtful follow-up activities and topics for further
study. This collection of cases can be used-on its own or as a companion
to the main volume-in elementary and special education courses and
professional development workshops. |

Cases in Special Education by
Joseph Boyle,
Scot Danforth
Synopsis
This supplement for special education courses consists of five short
cases for each of the twelve official federal disability areas. It
provides vivid, realistic depictions of what it is like to be a student
with a disability. Cases include persons of different ages and in
different settings. Each case explores the individual's disability and
its effect on her or his interactions with parents, friends, community
members, and society. |
