Synopsis

The most widely adopted text in Inclusion courses, Including Students with Special Needspresents information, suggestions, and practices for teaching students with diverse abilities that are effective and feasible for today's classroom teacher.

The fourth edition continues to offer practical strategies for teaching students with special needs in inclusive settings. Its non-categorical approach helps teachers ensure all students’ success regardless of their specific category of exceptionality. Filled with examples and vignettes, the text illuminates teaching methods and shows how they affect students’ learning. By drawing on the authors’ expertise in elementary and secondary education, this book examines the needs of students with low-incidence and high-incidence disabilities at both education levels. The useful organization first lays a foundation in special education and the inclusion model, and then helps readers apply that information in specific classroom situations.
