Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The Fulton Special Education Digest represents a major undertaking and seems likely to play an important reference-role in the lives of many connected with special educational needs. It is easy to use, relatively jargon-free, and has the merit of containing a vast expanse of material within a single volume." -- Support for LearningWeitere Details
