Summary

Interactions, 3/e, provides a cutting-edge look at how teams of school professionalsclassroom teachers, special education teachers, and counselorscan 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 (school professionals and families) to help special education students who are more often being placed in general classroom settings.
