"...researched like and referenced like a text book, but written in
lay terms to hold the interest of both parents and professionals."
-- Exceptional Parent, May 2001
"...well grounded and well researched...a remarkably thorough
treatment of a timely and significant topic. Highly recommended for
upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and
practitioners." -- Choice
"Best practice is accomplished when values drive perspectives and
attitudes. The book from cover to cover emphasizes the value, to
"confront bigotry in all its ism forms." Everyone who reads the
book will realize that, whatever differences may appear, the
differences are not in kind, but only in degree, This realization
is enough for the book to have achieved its goal." -- Sheila
