Reviews

All too often the world limits the academic opportunities afforded individuals with disabilities, and thus imposes a ceiling on what students with disabilities are able to accomplish. This timely volume celebrates the world of the possible by illustrating the impact that abolishing the ceilings makes achievable. Mitchell D. Chester, commissioner, Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education
