[Jamie · Rating 4 out of 5]

While primarily a book about working with children who have language impairments, this book very heavily dives into the entirety of special education practices and working with culturally, socioeconomically, and language diverse children and their families. While somewhat outdated, it is an excellent introductory resource and is organized in an easy-to-read fashion. Roseberry-McKibbin includes case studies from her work and family as examples and to give the reader some thought-provoking questions to ponder.
