Shane N. Phillipson is an associate professor at the Hong Kong Institute of Education, where he teaches educational psychology and gifted education. His research interests include educational psychology in cross-cultural contexts, creativity and mathematical thinking, particularly for high ability students.

This book is a timely and valuable contribution to understanding Chinese students with special learning needs in the inclusive environments. It provides useful information, insights and analysis, and serves as a fitting introduction for all pre-service teachers, field practitioners and researchers. -- Ming-Gon John Lian, Honorary Director, Centre for Advancement in Special Education, Faculty of Education, the University of Hong Kong
