The strategies and interventions, which are grounded in solid research and practice, include solutions for issues that educators face daily. A supportive professional tool that will help all adults acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to be able to strengthen a child's capacity to function successfully and with resiliency, Innovative Interventions for Today's Exceptional Kids blends the disciplines of cognitive psychology, neurolinguistics, and personality theory.
