Real Lives, Real Exceptionalities CD-ROM and Workbook offers inspirational, motivating testimonies capturing the essence of working with students with special needs. This interactive multimedia CD-ROM and accompanying workbook brings together exciting visual and auditory approaches to understanding the lives of real students, their families as well as the teachers and professionals who work with them. Capturing 5 students with special needs and their support teams, each case study includes 9 video clips. These thought-provoking clips capture a glimpse of everyday people sharing their different, yet common visions about living and working with students and their exceptionalities.

Available for FREE when packaged with Turnbull et al., Exceptional Lives, 4th edition, or with any other Merrill text.  Contact your Merrill/Prentice Hall sales representative for a special ordering ISBN number.

The easy-to-use interactive CD-ROM features :

• Rud and Ann Turnbull as well as Sean Smith, authors of Exceptional Lives providing audio commentary on each student–promotes professional insight and development.  
• Numerous thought-provoking questions enabling self-reflection and critical analysis as an educator and professional working with students with special needs–questions can be answered directly on the CD-ROM or can be discussed in the accompanying workbook or in class.
• Running transcript of the videos and audio transcript–fosters visual and auditory understanding as well as further discussion.
• Relevant web links for more information on topics discussed on the clips.

Video features first person accounts, interviews with families and professionals making a difference in 5 students’ lives –the perspectives represent the challenges, rewards, and expectations for students with special needs.  

·         Each powerful video demonstrates how special education works in various environments (in the school, the home, and in the community) across diverse special needs, and how it varies among individuals.

CD-ROM and Workbook encourages teachers and professionals working in special education to broaden their views about students with special needs –these videos promote exceptionality awareness not only of students with diverse needs, but also of families and support teams involved with these students.  

·         CD-ROM offers pre-service and in-service teachers and professionals the opportunity to immediately engage with these students, their families and support teams.  

·         By having this real experience, teachers and professionals can determine how they might improve upon their own practices and classroom experiences.  

CD-ROM and Workbook represents a new generation of ancillaries that adds content in a living and meaningful way –by connecting with the students on the CD-ROM, this experience will encourage the user to further develop the professionalism, commitment and advocacy required to work successfully in special education in a concrete, yet fulfilling way.

FREE VHS tape to professors and facilitators using this product who prefer a tape instead of the CD-ROM –the VHS tape consists of the same 5 students and the clips featured on the CD-ROM.
