Case Studies in Special Education and Additional Learning Needs is a highly accessible and practical book which could be used by practitioners and pre-service teachers in both American and international contexts. It is relevant to both special education teachers and general education teachers and I look forward to including the book on reading lists at my institution. It is written in a structured and strengths-first manner and provides the reader with concrete suggestions to improve the learning experiences and lives of students in our schools. The questions at the end of each chapter offer the reader opportunities for reflection and self-assessment to consolidate learning.

Case Studies in Special Education and Additional Learning is part of a supplemental series highlighting current issues and trends in education of students with disabilities. This text connects theories and practices to real-world applications. It encourages an active, constructivist learning style, communication and collaboration in problem solving, allowing the instructor to have students utilize skills in evaluation, synthesis and reasoning, essential higher order thinking skills. Each case study provides relevant demographics and sufficient detail so that the closing questions evoke critical problem-solving skills.
The authors have designed this text in a way that can be utilized in both undergraduate and graduate courses essentially integrated across all education courses that address disability and special education. The cases address very important foundational areas such as educational disability categories, legal issues, trauma informed and inclusive practices among many other central areas in education. I would highly recommend this text to across all college-level education courses.Vicki A.

Case Studies in Special Education and Additional Learning Needs provides realistic and meaningful insights into the day-to-day experiences of a special education teacher. Each case study demonstrates a deep understanding of the topic while offering practical strategies for navigating the challenges in the field. Both instructors and teacher candidates will find this book to be an invaluable, relatable resource they can return to throughout their practice.
