This book is about people. To help the reader better understand those who have disabilities or who are gifted or talented, we have described some of their unique characteristics, focusing on their educational and social development. In doing so, we've used terms such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, behavior disorders, and hearing impairments - but our concern is always with individuals.
