Today’s teachers, especially the many who work with students with special needs, are pressed to know a little something about everything. Expertise is needed in different content and pedagogical areas, but knowledge of different types of disabilities is required as well. Wendy Murawski and Kathy Lynn Scott have assembled another reader-friendly What Really Works resource full of experiences and evidence-based practices to empower any educator.
Each chapter is presented in an easy-access and practical format suited for busy professionals. The editors and authors examine how special educational needs affect
- Content areas like reading and math
- Specialization areas like autism and learning disabilities
- Pedagogical areas like culturally responsive practices and accommodations
- Other critical areas like legal issues, behavior challenges, and home-school collaboration
As education trends promote the inclusion of students with exceptionalities, this book is the perfect resource for teachers and administrators who need to know what works...and what doesn’t.

Kathy Lynn Scott, PhD, is the Center Administrative Analyst for the Center for Teaching and Learning at California State University, Northridge. Kathy was trained as an old school darkroom photographer, but she fell in love with all things to do with education. After conducting research on art education and adult education in England and coordinating research on learning disabilities in New Jersey, Kathy jumped from coast to coast, finding a new home with the CTL where she gets to do a little bit of everything related to education. When not acting as the “glue” for the CTL (as Wendy calls her), she’s happiest just relaxing at home, learning to cook new dishes, watching Jeopardy!, and shouting out the (not always correct) answers.
