“As a School Psychologist, program developer, and consultant to teachers, this book provides an excellent variety of approaches to teaching that allows effective collaboration by all parts of an IEP team. I love the way this book individualizes activities to use with all types of students. The activities are developed to be fun, interesting, and practical for everyone.” —Melissa Timochko, School Psychologist, Garfield Public Schools, Garfield, NJ 

“This book provides important background information for teachers, which will help them to understand the rolls of team members as well as how a student evaluation comes to fruition. The book also provides the teachers with math activities that the students can relate to because the problems incorporate things that the students are familiar with. The lessons also assist the teacher so that the lessons can be adapted for all different levels of learning.” —Beth E. Tecchio, School Social Worker, Garfield Child Study Team, Garfield, New Jersey

“This text is a valuable tool that bridges the gap between theoretical constructs and practical classroom application for the Middle School math teacher.”  —Dr. Frank Roscoe, Special Education Supervisor, Garfield, New Jersey

“This is a valuable resource for all teachers to help a diverse population of students to succeed in a common classroom!” —Marilyn Martorano, Thomas Jefferson Middle School

“Joan and Kate’s book is the answer to a child study team member’s prayer. Immediately after hearing that a child is classifiable, the first question from parents and teachers is “what do we do?” Joan and Kate have answered that question more completely than any previous educator, with an abundance of interesting and appropriate lessons for students with a variety of learning strengths and weaknesses. This book was a long time in coming but totally worth the wait. I recommend it to anyone who works with children.” —Anne Gunar, L.C.S.W., social worker, child study team, Bergen County Special Services
