Summary

Interactions provides a cutting-edge look at how teams of school professionals -- teachers, special education teachers, and counselors -- can effectively work together to provide a necessary range of services to students with special needs. As a result, future teachers learn how to collaborate with others to help special education students who are more often being placed in general classroom settings.
