Part 2 addresses the education of children with various disabilities, including education for children with auditory impairments, developmental disabilities, visual impairments, and gifted children.
Part 3 discusses issues related to vocational education and rehabilitation education for children with disabilities.
Part 4 explores the internationally popular topic of "inclusive education" and China's key educational reform content for modernizing special education—"learning in regular classes." The book is well-structured, logically sound, and presents bold and innovative perspectives, offering a comprehensive summary and bold attempt in the study of special education research.
