The Handbook of Special and Remedial Education: Research and
Practice is an update of the four-volume Handbook series, which
provided a comprehensive summary of the well-confirmed knowledge in
the field of special education available through the mid-1980's.
The need for an updated second edition grew out of the extensive
activity in research, policy developments, and related changes in
practices over the past decade. The new single volume gives first
priority to a review of the knowledge base, as derived from recent
research and practices in schools and related agencies. It notes
discrepancies between the state of the art and the state of
practice. These disparities are further linked to brief discussions
of policy issues and needed research, revisions in training
programs, and organizational arrangements in the field.
This edition is segmented into three major sections. The six
chapters within "Learning Rates: Issues of Concern and Prospects
for Improvement" range from a discussion of early education for
disabled children and those at risk, to educational resilience. The
six chapters under "Distinct Disabilities" cover such topics as
visual, hearing, and language impairments. Finally, the four
chapters in "Associated Conditions and Resources" discuss funding,
parents and advocacy systems, staff preparation, and emerging
school/community linkages.
