简介：After presenting the fundamentals, Smith (Vanderbilt U.) examines a variety of disabilities, in order of their prevalence, beginning with learning disabilities. Also covered are speech and language impairments, mental retardation, giftedness, emotional and behavioral disorders, physical impairments, deafness, and blindness. The text concludes with a section on low-incidence disabilities, such as autism, deaf-blindness, and traumatic brain injury. Smith argues the need for individualized programs, integration and inclusion, research, legislation, and respect for diversity. The fourth edition cites 664 new references and provides expanded coverage of ADHD and the latest information about IDEA 97, its 1999 regulations and current implementations. Previous editions (and CiP) carried the subtitle . Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
