| Summary |
"This book provides insights by giving "voice" to a group that is rarely heard in research. The perspectives of the participants in the study enable readers to view them as a heterogeneous rather than as a homogeneous group. Their stories provide vital information for parents, other caretakers, school personnel, community stakeholders, and those enrolled in education and mental health preparation programs. In addition, the insights gained from them about how they succeeded can be useful in facilitating positive outcomes for students who are going into two-year colleges, vocational training, and work settings."--BOOK JACKET. |
