I expected this book to speak to my intellect and to my practice. The best professional texts do that. Boll and Ly's Navigating Special Education Relationships went beyond. It spoke to my heart. The best colleagues do that.

It is difficult to think of a more comprehensive and helpful book on the complex dimensions of special education.?? The power of this book is two-fold.? First, it offers rich, up-to-date information.? Even more importantly, the book was created by caring individuals who, themselves, have experienced firsthand the challenges of teaching children with exceptionalities as well as having lived through the experience of being parents of children with special needs.? This book is indeed a gift to all educators and parents who seek the understanding required to support children with exceptionalities today.lc¡
