Great book to keep around for classroom use as a general education teacher. Helps you better understand your role in the SPED world and working with others on the IEP team for your students. Very comprehensive and up to date.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't recommend buying the Kindle version at all if you're a student.

The book and its contents are fine, but as a student using this for class, I NEED page numbers in order to cite quotes for assignments. I purchased this via Kindle and now using this textbook for school work is incredibly difficult. Even if there were a way to show it as its standard paperback version text size in order to create stable page numbers so that I can reasonably cite quotations for essays and homework, it would be tremendously helpful. Do you really think that my professor is going to assign "location 200-4200"? This is absurd and frustrating. Other books I have purchased via Kindle have page numbers, but this one doesn't-- the format creates a massive headache for me. Hate it.
