reading, writing and mathematics disorders
disorders of conduct, anxiety and depression

mild, moderate to severe, and profound cognitive impairment
sensory impairments
orthopaedic and motor disabilities, health impairments and traumatic brain injury.

Based on many years of experience, and drawing on expertise from all corners of the globe, this is the definite guide to special education today.
