The new and fully revised second edition of Enduring Issues in Special Education is aimed at any course in the undergraduate or graduate special education curriculum that is wholly or partly devoted to a critical examination of current issues in special education. As we approach a decade since the original edition was published, the second edition includes an analysis of newly developed and historical issues written by leading experts in the field of education.
The book’s objective, in addition to informing readers about the issues, is to ask readers to consider critical questions related to each issue. The book organizes 30 chapters into seven sections using the same structuring principles as the first edition—what, why, who (students and professionals), where, and how (now and in the future). Like the first edition, each chapter includes the author’s personal perspectives, suggested resources, and discussion questions. A core addition is a section on the future of special education research, policy, and practice.
Christopher J. Lemons is a Professor of Special Education in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University.
