Product Description
How are the needs of each student met in the classroom? Educators will find out in this ready reference. Full of proven strategies, models, and examples, they'll learn how to adapt the class and curriculum and to provide the individualized instruction each student needs for academic and social success.

With considerations to the individual student and disability, key topics are explored, including curricular adaptations (the lessons taught) , instructional adaptations (how the lessons are taught), ecological adaptations (where, when, and with whom the lessons are taught)

General and special educators, counselors, families, and service staff will appreciate this quick, information-packed guide as they strive to provide a full and nurturing environment to students with a broad range of disabilities, from learning disabilities to severe developmental disabilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hundreds of ideas, April 30, 2008

By	Paula Kluth (IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modifying Schoolwork (Teachers Guides to Inclusive Practices) (Paperback)

I recommend this book to many teachers in K-12 classrooms and use it a lot in my own work as an advocate. This book is filled with hundreds of ideas and most of them are appropriate for students with any need, ability, or challenge including those with cognitive disabilities, learning disabilities, autism, and physical disabilities.
