Dr. Downing does a wonderful job in this book of offering
teachers practical information. She has a section devoted to
each stage of education from preschool to high school & within
each section offers specific tips on how to modify both the
environment & the curriculum. She also addresses common
concerns such as dealing with disruptive behavior & a lack of
adequate planning time or support staff resources.
A great addition to any teacher's resource library!

After reading this book I can only hope that I will be lucky enough to have a student with severe and multiple disabilities in my classroom some day. The book has a lot of practical ideas, simple and easy to use and at the same time there are a lot of references to actual research. This is a very inspiring book!

June E. Downing's INCLUDING STUDIES WITH SEVERE AND MULTIPLE DISABILITIES IN TYPICAL CLASSROOMS is a pick for any special education collection interested in inclusion. K-12 teachers receive research-based, practical strategies for including students with cognitive impairments in an assessment building on previous editions to provide advice on common challenges. From understanding teaching accountability processes to easing transitions for students and writing measurable IEP goals, this is a powerful assessment tool for college-level education libraries.

My book was lost in the mail(so they said so), which was not the sellers fault. But then when I would email them they would not get back to me right away. I was not very happy with them. Then finally after they sent me a new book, the day it came two books came, so I really wonder if it ever "got lost in the mail" or if they just never sent it. I was not happy because my class had already started and I needed this book.
