CHOICE, 2002Leverage brain research to develop successful strategies for students with special needs!Since the first edition of David A. Sousa's bestseller on a brain-based approach for special education, scientists have made remarkable progress in understanding how the human brain functions.

  • Responsiveness to Intervention (RTI) for evaluating students at risk
  • Expanded chapters on attention and autism spectrum disorders
  • Revised material on reading, emotional, and behavioral disorders
  • A new final chapter featuring a practical framework for identifying, accommodating, and motivating special needs students
  • References to more than 230 new scientific studies
