Most staff fumble around with how to proceed, and there are few people (if any!) who know, with confidence, what to do. Wilson Kenney's book provides an excellent framework to follow, and provides helpful information on what is normative and what is not (i.e should you even be concerned?). In these economic times, with fewer staff in the district and less money to pay for outside consultants, dealing with these situations more often becomes the job of the regular school administrator, counselor or psychologist. This book will provide staff with the confidence of how to address these issues--what questions to ask, who should be involved, etc.--and is written in an easy-to-understand, easy-to-reference format. -- Kelly Raf, school psychologist
