Almost awful Where to start... A bound version wasn't available, and since it was a required text I had no choice but to get the loose-leaf version. Is this why it doesn't seem to have had a full, professional review? Compared to almost all the other, often uneven, texts I have had to wade through in years of graduate study, the writing and editing often seems deadening/condescending. Perhaps it's intended for a low-level undergrad audience; for a professional master's degree it feels insultingly didactic. I already own a graduate degree from an ivy league university, so perhaps I'm expecting too much. Still, a little bit of outsider input would probably have helped this effort--all four authors are from the same department at the same college. To make matters worse, the font size is grayscale (some of the headings are almost whitescale) and vanishingly small. For a text about special education, which includes teaching the visually impaired, this feels almost like a cruel joke. On the other hand, equipped with my strongest pair of readers and good reading light, I was able to make out the larger main body text, and it appears that some of the case studies are really quite engaging and valuable. Consequently I didn't give this one star--but I had to think about it.Ok textbook It is a good overall special education textbook.It doesnt really have a whole lot of strategies, which is what I was looking for.The e-textbook has lots of links to vidoe clips but they are all youtube clips so you can access the without the e-textbook.. The one thing I did like was the quizzes after each chapter (only accessed by e-text).Not a good choice if you need text-to-speech. Hypocritical - Special Ed Book and accessible features are disabled from the publisher?! I use Kindle for as many text and books as possible. I need to use the text-to-speech feature to learn and study best. It is not activated for this book, nor is Xray. The material is quality and up to date, but the loose leaf format is annoying in the digital version. Additionally, not having active links for the supplemental activities is misleading. For the price, this should be an example of accommodated/ Universal Design options for reading a studying with all of the appropriate exercises included for a variety of learning/studying styles. This is a poor demonstration of how to accommodate student.
