  An excellent look at inclusion in the modern American classroom. I rented it from Amazon, but bought myself a copy after I began reading it.

  I read this book for a special education inclusion class. I feel weird recommending people to read a textbook when they aren't required to for class, but I wish I could recommend this book to every teacher I know. I learned so much, and it was surprisingly easy to read for a textbook.

  An insightful book that sheds light on impairment. This is a must-read for all educators.

  Another book for school regarding special education. A quick read. Reads for school are usually boring but the authors pointed out many angles dealing with inclusion and special education

  This book gives a fresh perspective on inclusive education and aspects of our culture that need challenging. It's clearly written for inservice, first-year teachers, but it's also a good reminder for all educators.

  Read this for a special education course, it provided some good insight as well as ideas for lessons. Good for all teachers and librarians to read, just to get a sense of working with peoples with disabilities.

  I don't know if I read the entire book, but I read significant portions. Unfortunately, grad school is intense and I don't remember specifics about the book, although I do remember principles from the class. I would revisit the book if, once again, I had purchased rather than rented via Kindle. It's such a challenge to decide where to save money on books and where to "bite the bullet."
