Teachers, parents, and community leaders need effective strategies for dealing with inappropriate behaviors of all children. The factors behind inappropriate behavior (inadequate and early environmental influences, home environment, behavior styles, cultural styles, and learning styles) are compounded for young African-American males due to the organizational structure of the public schools. In order to meet the challenge, the schools must adapt new and creative ways for teaching social skills to this population. This book presents that social skills curriculum.

Educational Interventions and Services for Children With Exceptionalities: Strategies and Perspectives

Abundant controversy exists because many specialists agree that special education has not provided exceptional individuals with a viable education. The second edition of this book continues to present strategies, perspectives, and authoritative information on all phases of this complex topic. The text has been expanded and updated to maintain currency with concepts and practices. The most recent legislation, incidences of exceptionality, behavioral styles, behavioral management, technology, trends, intervention, research, assessments, IEP development, and curriculum development have been included. Specific examples are given for each area discussed. A special chapter has been written on the role and importance of parental involvement. Current events and research relating to various exceptionalities have been highlighted throughout the text. Each chapter finishes with a summary of concluding remarks in response to the needs of exceptional individuals. This book will be very useful to regular classroom teachers, school administrators, and educational policymakers.

Three academics specializing in physical and special education introduce the practice of assessment of disabled people that takes into account recent changes in the field of behavioral cognitive science and learning theories. Although concerned with the assessment of academic achievement, it is recognized that the assessment of other human functions is an integral part of the practice. The authors consider the impact of federal and state mandates and discuss the integration of assessment into wider instructional goals. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
