Strategies for Teaching Learners with Special Needs - Couverture souple

Revised to incorporate important new information about No Child Left Behind and the 2004 re-authorization of IDEA, this classic work in the field of teaching methodology for students with special needs continues to be the most comprehensive textbook available for students with mild/high incidence disabilities (i.e., learning disabilities, mild retardation/intellectual disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, and students experiencing learning problems in the general education classroom). The focus of the book is on effective instructional strategies for students being served in diverse educational settings, with a primary emphasis on those being taught in inclusive educational environments.  In Part I, the text provides basic information on curriculum development and instruction while in Part II, an in-depth discussion of key curricular areas is provided.

The goal of this book is to present proven approaches to both curriculum development and general teaching methods which, when used in tandem, will foster educational success in students with special needs. Although retaining many principles, practices and instructional strategies that have been field tested and proven successful through five previous editions, the Sixth Edition has been significantly revised to reflect many contemporary themes in education.
