Publisher's Note
"Smith's Introduction to Special Education is the best overall text I have seen for a survey course in special education."

J'Anne Affeld
Northern Arizona University "I like the fact that she has a chapter that focuses on Multicultural and Bilingual Special Education because this is an area that I believe is overlooked not only in other textbooks but in Special Education classes.
Josephine Fritts

Mary Jane Hayes
