More than 600 informative, well-written annotations are organized in the following categories: all disabilities; specific disabilities, from autism to visual disabilities; specific topics such as advocacy, behavior modification, and planning for the future; books about and for children with special needs; and journals and magazines. Appendixes and indexes list publishers' addresses, support organizations, authors, titles, and subjects. An excellent resource not only for parents but also for librarians, special educators, and health care professionals.--Jodith Janes, Cleveland Clinic Foundation -Library Journal.
