Focusing on the critical issue of children's mental health, this book highlights the significant gaps in identification and services for young individuals with mental health needs. It emphasizes the shortcomings within special education systems and the broader societal context, advocating for increased awareness and improved support mechanisms. The author argues for a more proactive approach to address the neglect in mental health services for children, aiming to foster better outcomes and understanding in this vital area.

The Scandalous Neglect of Children's Mental Health makes the case for the under-identification and under-service of children with mental health needs, both in special education and and outside of it.

Special Education: What It Is and Why We Need It provides a thorough examination of the basic concept of special education, a discussion of specific exceptionalities, and constructive responses to common criticisms of special education. Whether you're a teacher, school administrator, teacher-educator, or simply interested in the topic, you will learn just what special education is, who gets it or who should get it, and why it is necessary. The second edition of this brief yet powerful primer will help you build the foundation of a realistic, rational view of the basic assumptions and knowledge on which special education rests.
