This book was in extremely good shape and at a very good value. I saved a ton of money by not buying this at the school's bookstore. I will never again purchase a book at a college bookstore.

Had to purchase for a college class. Very good information. Each chapter starts with an interesting case study.

Do you know what "collaboration" means? According to this book it's about talking to your co-workers and making sure to be nice to them....and it takes 10 text-book sized pages to explain that simple fact.
Then there's the section on laws and modern special education concerns, where each major law is given a paragraph and a half of explanation, and the acronyms for these skipped-over laws are used consistently from that point onwards without further explanation.
That's really the problem with this book. It's too much for some things, and not enough for others. The writing is about as engaging as the instructions for installing your cable tv, and the stories are well too short to carry any significant meaning.
In short...skip it. If this is your classroom textbook, as it was mine, I feel your pain.
