Praise For Education For All

"This book, Education for All, represents a rich resource for 'every educator'. . . . This talented group of educators, advocates, parents, and researchers have provided schools and teachers opportunities to enhance their tool kits to do just that--help all students be successful."
--Alice D. Parker, Ed.D., executive director, Innovation and Dissemination for Special Education, Aspire Public Schools

"Education for All delivers knowledge both regular education and special education teachers need to know, and what advocates, administrators, university professors, legal representatives, and lawmakers should know."
--Carol Dinsdale, Council for Exceptional, Children Teacher of the Year 2005

"This book provides diverse perspectives on the evolution of special education policy and practice over the past forty years from professionals, parents, and individuals with disabilities. It will be a helpful supplemental text in a variety of courses preparing professionals involved in the education of individuals with disabilities."
--Fred Weintraub, education consultant and former assistant executive director of the Council for Exceptional Children

"This book demonstrates that the once-unimaginable--education for all children with disabilities--has been realized. It also shows that there is still more to be imagined."
--Rud Turnbull, Distinguished Professor of Special Education and Life Span Studies, and co-founder and director, Beach Center on Disability, the University of Kansas

"Jiménez, Graf, and the impressive list of public and higher education experts assembled for this volume effectively capture the history, scope, and impact of a law that has driven special education practice for more than three decades."
--Michael L. Hardman, Ph.D., dean, College of Education, University of Utah

"Unlike other academic books Education for All includes the voices of families, individuals with disabilities, and practitioners who truly live the implementation of special education policy, research, and practice. This is a must-read for anyone involved in the education of individuals with disabilities and their families--academicians, family members, persons with disabilities, advocates, and teachers."
