To further enhance students’ understanding of and interest in Special Education in Contemporary Society, 3e, SAGE has created a student website to accompany the text. This website includes the following:

• Flash cards that allow for easy reviewing of key terms and concepts;
• Self-quizzes that can be used to check their understanding of the material or can be sent in to the professor for a grade;
• PowerPoint slides provided in lecture format so students can take notes during class lectures;
• Internet activities that direct students to various sites on the Web and ask them to apply their knowledge to a particular topic;
• Web Resources & Media Links thatprovide links to various sites on the Web for further research and for real-life stories and situations related to the chapter topic;
• Learning from Journal Articles – which includes original research from SAGE journal articles, and teaches students how to read and analyze a journal article;
• Sample Individualized Family Service Plan and Sample IEP.
