 PREFACE

E ducation in the first two decades of the twenty-first century undoubtedly

will be remembered for the ongoing clamor for reform. From the mandates
of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), currently referred to as
the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), through those of the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to the increasingly higher standards adopted
at the state level, relentless efforts are underway to improve the academic
outcomes of U.S. students. And like all students, those who struggle to learn
because of intellectual, physical, sensory, emotional, communication, learning
disabilities, or other special needs must be taught using research-based practices
and are expected to reach the same high academic standards as other learners.
Further, teachers, administrators, and other professionals are being held directly
accountable for the achievement of all of their students.
In many ways, the current educational climate is consonant with the beliefs
on which Including Students with Special Needs: A Practical Guide for Class-
room Teachers is based. In this eighth edition, we have continued our efforts
to integrate today’s expectations for students with our own continued strong
commitment to inclusive practices, a commitment tempered by our knowledge
and experience of the realities of day-to-day teaching. We know that teachers
cannot do the job themselves; they rely on strong and sustained administrative
support and adequate resources. We cannot guarantee that such key supports
will always be in place, but we can provide teachers with a firm grounding in
critical special education concepts, an understanding of the professionals who
support these students and the procedures followed to ensure their rights are
upheld, and a wealth of research-based strategies and interventions to foster
their success.
The textbook is divided into four main sections. The first section provides
fundamental background knowledge about the field of special education as
well as current information on how students with disabilities are served within
inclusive school environments. This is information that readers will find essen-
tial as they move from being students to teachers. The second section of the
book provides a framework for thinking about effective instructional practices
for students who struggle to learn. It provides a foundation for the remain-
der of the book. The third section introduces readers to students with spe-
cific disabilities and other special needs. Although each student is unique, this
material provides readers with examples of students they may teach and sum-
maries of their most typical characteristics. The material in the fourth section
of the text represents the heart of any course on inclusive practices: instruc-
tional approaches that emphasize teaching students effectively in the academic,
social, and behavior domains. Our emphasis is on reality-based techniques that
can be implemented for many students with a range of special needs and that
are consistent with today’s instructional expectations and the knowledge base
on effective practices.
We have brought to this project our own diversity: Marilyn with expertise
in elementary and secondary education, especially in urban settings, and in col-
laboration, inclusive practices, and co-teaching; Bill with expertise in secondary
education, literacy, instructional strategies, assessment, and grading practices.
Our collective perspective on educating students with disabilities and other spe-
cial needs is reflected in the organization and substance of the book; our ultimate
goal is for general educators to be well prepared to effectively teach all of their
students. Our approach to preparing this book is based on our research; our
analysis of the scholarly literature on instruction, teacher preparation, and pro-
fessional development; and our experiences teaching undergraduate and gradu-
ate educators. Our understanding, though, ultimately is grounded in our many

observations of and conversations with general education and special education

teachers who are diligently working, often in difficult circumstances, to make a
difference in the lives of their students. We truly hope that we have managed to
find the right blend of reader-friendly and research-based information. Above
all, we hope this eighth edition is responsive to the many instructional dilemmas
confronting today’s teachers.

New to the Eighth Edition

Each time we revise Including Students with Special Needs, we carefully con-
sider feedback from reviewers and users who contact us to offer their perspec-
tives, and we also analyze the current trends, issues, policies, and practices
influencing schools. The following are several of the key revisions made for
each chapter in the eighth edition:
• CHAPTER 1 introduces in a straightforward way the complex concepts that
characterize special education. In addition, readers are provided with an
overview of several of the most critical issues that are shaping education for
students with disabilities and other special needs as well as a discussion of
inclusive practices as they occur in this second decade of the twenty-first
century. This chapter also overviews the most recent relevant education
legislation, that is, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Individu-
als with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), as well as the landmark spe-
cial education 2017 Supreme Court decision Endrew F. v. Douglas County
School District.
• CHAPTER 2 reflects the recent shift in the field of education from response
to intervention (RtI) as an alternative to traditional approaches for deter-
mining whether students have learning disabilities to the broader preven-
tive approach for both learning and behavior concerns represented by
multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The chapter also outlines details
that general education teachers must understand about parents’ rights in
making decisions regarding their children who may have disabilities. This
chapter’s discussion of the professionals in special education emphasizes
those with whom elementary and secondary teachers most typically work.
• CHAPTER 3 explores the well-established importance of professional col-
laboration in the delivery of special education and other school services,
including those related to RtI and MTSS. It directly addresses the complex-
ity of collaboration when disagreements occur, especially those between
school professionals and parents. Updated information is provided on co-
teaching, teaming, and consultation, with attention also given to teacher–
paraprofessional partnerships.
• CHAPTER 4 provides the latest information on the use of universal screening
and progress-monitoring assessments in MTSS as well as high-stakes testing,
including the testing requirements of the ESSA of 2015. The chapter also
has a new Technology Notes feature on the use of computer-based stan-
dardized testing with students with disabilities.
• CHAPTER 5’s already comprehensive coverage of foundational teaching
practices has been updated and expanded by providing more in-depth,
nuanced information on the use of research-based practices. The update
also includes expanded coverage of computer-assisted instruction.
• CHAPTER 6 includes updated details about the characteristics and needs of
students with autism spectrum disorders and other low-incidence disabili-
ties, including physical, health, and sensory disorders. Strong emphasis is
placed on the use of technology to meet the needs of students with these
special needs, but attention also is paid to practical ideas for supporting
these students in general education classrooms.

A01_FRIE4093_08_SE_FM.indd 6 13/01/18 5:27 pm

 PREFACE vii

• CHAPTER 7 includes important updates on dyslexia research, the use of

assistive technology in reading, and controversial therapies in special edu-
cation. The latest information on practices for identifying students with
learning disabilities using MTSS has also been added.
• CHAPTER 8 is intended to alert educators to the many students they will teach
who have special needs, but not necessarily disabilities. It includes updated
data related to these students (e.g., students who live in poverty, students who
are abused or neglected) and also focuses on students with attention deficit–
hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the best ways to accommodate them. In
addition, this chapter addresses students who have special gifts and talents,
and it examines the role of RtI and MTSS in preventing the need for special
education for some at-risk students.
• CHAPTER 9’s practical, research-based coverage of ways to adjust instruction
for students with special needs now includes thoroughly updated sections
on Tier 2 and 3 instructions in MTSS/RtI, expanded coverage of vocabulary
instruction, and a new Technology Notes feature on virtual manipulatives.
• The already extensive focus in CHAPTER 10 on strategies for fostering stu-
dent independence has been expanded by adding new strategies in the
areas of reading and writing as well as a thoroughly updated Technology
Notes feature on web-based programs to improve writing.
• In addition to the already strong, now updated section on classroom testing
accommodations, CHAPTER 11 includes the most current information avail-
able on grading strategies that benefit all students, including those with
special needs. The chapter has also added a Technology Notes feature on
the use of electronic portfolios.
• CHAPTER 12 covers a dimension of education that can truly shape stu-
dents’ lives and determine educator effectiveness: strategies for addressing
students’ social, emotional, and behavioral needs. Emphasis is placed on
preventing behavior problems, addressing serious problems with behav-
ior intervention plans, and fostering positive social interactions among stu-
dents with disabilities and their classmates.

RESOURCES AND TOOLS

PROFESSIONAL EDGE features describe conceptual material, cutting-

edge trends, and contemporary issues relevant to today’s teachers.
Included are new and sometimes controversial topics that experts in
the field are talking about right now.

TECHNOLOGY NOTES features illustrate the use of technology to support

students with disabilities in inclusive schools. For example, Chapter 3
explores options for electronic collaboration. In Chapter 10, research
on the effectiveness of the latest computer software for improving the
writing skills of students with disabilities provides teachers with the
most current information.

WORKING TOGETHER features present cases in which professional fam-

ily collaboration is needed and provide tips for optimizing collabora-
tive efforts. For example, Chapter 5 presents two teachers learning to
work together to accommodate a student in their shared class. Chapter
12 includes an example of what may occur when parents and profes-
sionals disagree.

MARGINAL ANNOTATIONS are designed to extend readers’ thinking and provide additional
information on cultural and linguistic diversity, information related to the topic at hand, and
useful websites. They provide readers access to the most current research related to teaching

Understanding Contemporary Special Education
It is a new school year—your first as a teacher in the
Danville School District. You are excited about your new
job but worried about following the district curriculum
and making sure your students succeed on high-stakes
tests. Then you learn that you will be responsible for the
following students, and you find that you need all the
skills for reaching diverse groups of students that you
learned in your professional preparation program:
• Cassie is a bright student who has a visual impair-
ment. To read, she uses a computer that greatly
magnifies materials. She also needs to work in
bright light, and she gets fatigued from the effort
required to use what little vision she has. If a
teacher points at the whiteboard and says, “Every-
one, look at this . . . ,” Cassie will not know what
the teacher is referring to; the information must be
stated out loud for her to follow the instruction.
• Ramon is identified as having a learning disabil-
ity. His reading ability is significantly below grade
level. He also seems disorganized. He often for-
gets to bring materials and assignments to school,
and he frequently asks for help immediately after
directions for an assignment have been given and
without trying on his own to follow them.

QUESTIONS
1. What are the possible strengths that Cassie, Ramon,

AIDS TO UNDERSTANDING

MyLab Education
One of the most visible changes in the new edition, and one of the most signifi-
cant, is the expansion of the digital learning and assessment resources embed-
ded in the etext through the inclusion of MyLab Education in the work. MyLab
Education is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed
to work with the text to engage learners and to improve learning. Within its
structured environment, learners see key concepts demonstrated through real
classroom video footage, are given opportunities to practice what they learn,
and can test their understanding and receive feedback to guide their learn-
ing and to ensure their mastery of key learning outcomes. Designed to bring
learners more directly into the worlds of students with special needs and the
educators who work with them, the online resources in MyLab Education with
the Enhanced Etext include:

Video Examples
In all chapters, embedded videos provide illustrations of special education prin-
ciples or concepts in action. These video examples show students, teachers, and
families working in classrooms and/or providing their perspectives about real
life situations.

Self-Checks
In each chapter, self-check quizzes help assess how well learners have mastered
the content. The self-checks are made up of self-grading multiple-choice items
that not only provide feedback on whether questions are answered correctly or
incorrectly, but also provide rationales for both correct and incorrect answers.

Application Exercises
These scaffolded analysis exercises are built around the scenarios that open
each chapter, describing the experiences of elementary, middle school, and high
school students as they relate to the topics discussed in each chapter. In the Back
to the Cases feature at the end of each chapter, readers are challenged to apply
what they have learned to the students they met at the beginning of the chapter.
The questions in these exercises are usually constructed-response. Once learners
provide their own answers to the questions, they receive feedback in the form of
model answers written by experts.

Video Analysis Tool

The Video Analysis Tool is also available in the left-hand navigation bar of MyLab
Education. This tool uses video case-based exercises to help students build their
skills in analyzing teaching. Exercises provide classroom videos and rubrics to
scaffold analysis. Timestamp and commenting tools allow users to easily annotate
the video and connect their observations to concepts they learned in the text.

Acknowledgments
Many individuals helped us during the preparation of the eighth edition of
Including Students with Special Needs, and without their assistance and encour-
agement the project undoubtedly would have stalled. First and most important,
we express our gratitude to our families. They have listened to us worry about
how to respond to reviewer comments and suggestions, meet the deadlines that
sometimes seemed impossibly near, analyze aloud whether particular video clips
accurately represented the concept at hand, and fret about what material to add
or keep in the book and what material had to be dropped. They helped us sort
through the conundrums, offered suggestions with the perspective of outsiders
who deeply cared, and tolerated our need to hide in our offices as we wrote and
rewrote. We cannot possibly say thank you in enough ways for their support.
We also thank the individuals who helped us with all the innumerable
details of revising a textbook. Tammy Baron from Western Carolina Univer-
sity was instrumental in developing the Back to the Cases and MyLab activi-
ties. Tammy also assisted us in finding just the right videos to help bring our
text to life, and she made suggestions and corrections that helped improve our
final product. Sonia Martin, an invaluable colleague at The University of North
Carolina at Greensboro, helped with the myriad formatting tasks that accompany
textbook revision. We especially thank her for lending a sympathetic ear and for
her inimitable sense of humor. Courtney Barron’s contribution likewise is greatly
appreciated: She created the new icon for the INCLUDE process that is a center-
piece concept for Including Students with Special Needs.
The professionals at Pearson also have supported this effort with both words
and actions. Director and Publisher Kevin Davis has steered this eighth edi-
tion through the many steps of its creation, offering guidance and insights with
encouragement, clarification, and patience. Developmental Editor Alicia Reilly
was, as always, diligent in her efforts to help us keep the book clear, responsive
to the needs of the field, and on target with the many components of the book,
from the main manuscript to the features to the videos—and she demonstrated
once again that nagging about deadlines and tasks still awaiting attention can be
accomplished in a way that is neither overly intrusive nor offensive. Alicia also
helped us navigate the increasingly complex waters encountered in seeking per-
missions for reproduced material. Thanks so much, Alicia.
Special thanks go to the reviewers for this edition: Glennda McKeithan—
North Carolina State University; Genevieve Hay—College of Charleston; and Den-
nis Attick—Clayton State University. We were impressed with their meticulous
approach to reviewing the manuscript and their perceptive suggestions. We tried
to incorporate as many of their recommendations as we could, and they defi-
nitely contributed to the development of a better textbook.
Finally, we continue to be grateful to all of our university colleagues, stu-
dents, and professionals in schools who influence our thinking about educating
students with special needs in general education settings. Their questions about
best practices, their challenges to our thinking, and their ideas for better com-
municating our message have been invaluable.
