Adopting Curriculum And Instruction In Inclusive Classrooms
By Sandi Cole
The purpose of this manual is to provide a conceptual model and a range of samples so that teachers can create classrooms which welcome, include, educate and support all students. The manual is not a “cookbook”; rather, it provides a conceptual framework to enable those who use it to build their skills and increase options for adapting across all curricular areas for all students.
The Reading And Writing Program
By Nina Watther
Most developmentally delayed students have difficulty acquiring language with which they can adequately communicate with others, express their needs and learn from exposure to educational and social environments. This book is an effort to teach such students to read and write using solely visual stimuli. The Program is likely to help many developmentally delayed students express their needs, feelings, and questions, as well as make it easier for parents and others to understand and communicate with them.
