Assistive Technology is an essential text for those who teach -- or aspire to teach -- children with special needs. Special Education laws mandate that schools consider each student's need for assistive technology devices and/or services during the IEP process. The vastness of the information presented by Professors Sze and Cowden may be readily adapted to the particular needs of students in elementary and secondary schools. (J.C.
