I just posted some great books that Bill and I have read and used under the "Resource" section of my blog. Exceptional Teaching by Jim Pierson has been a regular resource in our special needs library. It is full of helpful information regarding a variety of disabilities.
I also highly recommend the DVD, "How Difficult Can This Be?" In it, Richard Lavoie simulates a variety of learning disabilities and it truly helps you be more understanding and empathetic towards children with learning challenges. He shares one of the best explanations of "fairness" I have ever heard. It has impacted me as a teacher, as a mom and as a friend.
