This book is authoritative because the authors do research in this area, and it is a must-have book for all interested in inclusive and special needs education.” (Monica Melby-Lervåg, Professor Department of Special Needs Education University of Oslo. Director of the Centre for Research on Special Needs Education and Inclusion (SpedAims))
