The book "Introduction to Special Education and Training" by Deborah Smith and Naomi Tyler is a systematic recording and description of a large number of disabilities and special educational needs, which we may often hear but do not know well enough. A significant change has taken place in our country regarding the way people with special needs are treated. This has led to the elimination of stereotypical perceptions of what constitutes a disability and how the educational needs of a person with a disability are shaped. 

The 14 chapters of the book approach key issues of Special Education and Training in a modern, analytical, and targeted manner. However, the distinct contribution of this handbook focuses on the existence of chapters referring to issues for which there is insufficient literature. This textbook provides the reader with the opportunity to learn about new developments and innovations in the field of Special Education and Training. 

It is addressed to every professional and scientist dealing with Special Education and Training, to general and special education teachers, to parents who want to better understand their children, and of course to students.
