Including Students With Severe Disabilities

Written by experts in the field, this resource provides cutting-edge descriptions and critical issues relating to the instruction of students with severe disabilities, with hands-on practical examples of inclusive education at various grade levels. This book is a generation ahead of previous textbooks written about teaching people with severe disabilities. Its organization and content allow the book to be used both as a methods text and as a general resource on research-based best practices. Its focus is on how to effectively include students with severe disabilities into general education classrooms and beyond. Topics discussed include collaboration, family-centered practices, access to the general education curriculum, paraprofessionals, social relationships, systematic instruction, positive behavior supports, communication, and sensory/motor skills. Examples of how to infuse these areas of effective teaching into real-world contexts are provided in chapters written by experts on preschool, elementary school, middle school, high school, and transition services.Kennedy, Craig H. is the author of 'Including Students With Severe Disabilities', published 2003 under ISBN 9780205343942 and ISBN 0205343945.
