Wonderful book! If you are a special educator and teach children with moderate and severe intellectual disabilities, this is a book that YOU must have! It covers all 5 domains! It has your lesson plans, IEP goal and objectives. It has great ideas when you can't think of what you need to work on next.

I bought the book for my daughter, a special needs teacher for students with severe/profound disabilities. She was very pleased with the book and finds it very useful in working with her students. The school system Special Needs department head is going to order a copy for herself.

I teach pre-service teachers in the special education field. This book is old, but it's the best curriculum (really the only curriculum) I've found that teachers (OR PARENTS) can simply pick-up and immediately begin using for individuals with moderate to severe needs. It's simple, easy to use, follow, and understand, and includes examples, ideas, assessments, and IEP resources for curriculum (AND SKILL) development. It's an absolute must for your resource library and a wonderful supplement for general education teachers (AND PARENTS) who need to modify the curriculum (or teach their child) to be as independent as possible and successfully included.

Very helpful with community integration curriculum.I am trying to look up different community curriculums and assessment tools for children with autism. Found this helpful!

This text has stood the test of time and gone through at least 10 editions...It is still the best straightforward, practical resource on teaching children with moderate to severe disabilities. The field of special education has changed greatly since the first publication due to new legislation such as NCLB, ESA, etc...However, this text offers teachers the best balanced approach to teaching because it emhasizes the development of academic AND functional skills....I hope it is around forever...
