Journal Descriptions

Exceptional Children is a longstanding and highly respected peer-reviewed academic journal in the field of special education, with continuous publication since 1934. It serves as the flagship research journal of the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) and is published quarterly by SAGE Publications Inc. on its behalf. The journal focuses on original empirical research, systematic research reviews, methodological studies, theoretical/conceptual essays, and policy analyses related to the education, development, and well-being of children and individuals with exceptionalities across the lifespan. The scope covers a broad array of topics within special education — including interventions, inclusive practices, learning outcomes, educational assessment, teacher preparation, instructional strategies, and equity-oriented research. Exceptional Children emphasizes rigorous methodological standards and scholarly contributions that advance understanding and practice in the education of learners with disabilities or giftedness. Its audience includes researchers, educators, policymakers, and practitioners committed to evidence-based practice and innovation in special education. Over its many decades of publication, Exceptional Children has maintained a strong reputation for influential scholarship that informs both theoretical development and practical improvement in special education environments globally.
