Including Students with Special Needs takes a non-categorical approach to the topic of inclusionary practices, drawing on the authors' own INCLUDE model to help all students achieve success regardless of their specific category of exceptionality.

The third edition continues to offer strategies for teaching students with disabilities in inclusive settings. By drawing on author Marilyn Friend's experience in elementary education and author William Bursuck's in secondary education, this book examines the needs of students with low-incidence and high-incidence disabilities at both the elementary and secondary levels.

The text offers a useful organization that first lays a foundation in special education/inclusion and then helps the student apply that information in specific classroom situations.
