I needed this book for a class and it came right away! The book actually isn’t that bad, either.
Rating: 5 / 5
I was satisffied with the book. it was relevant to the content of the course which was titled intro to SPED.
Rating: 4 / 5
Exceptional Lives should be about one hundred pages, but instead, prattles on for a solid five hundred, drowning the reader in useless details having nothing to do with education. As a future teacher, I should know how to accommodate students with hearing disabilities. I should be aware of the relevant assistive technology, and what constitutes an effective hearing impaired IEP. I should NOT have to wade through an ocean of facts concerning audiograms, tympanography, audiometry, acute otitis media, maternal Rh incompatibility, and the history of rubella.
Strip away the unnecessary detail, and snip out the commonsense observations any twit can figure out for herself, and the leftover material is enough to write a short pamphlet.

I received my textbook in a timely fashion and it was in very good condition.
Rating: 5 / 5
This is really good book as it is easy to read and very clear. It is well set out and although it is very expensive it is well worth buying as you can use it as a reference tool even after your class or course has ended.
