Teaching Students with Severe Disabilities (Custom Edition), 1st edition

This custom edition is published for the University of Canberra.

Teaching Students with Severe Disabilities presents comprehensive coverage of the major issues pertinent to teaching students with severe disabilities in a form readers can readily understand and apply in their own educational settings.

The authors draw on their own personal experience and a broad array of professional literature to help make even the most complex research findings on severe disabilities understandable and usable in the real world of education today. They look at both methodology and curriculum, present topics in the order in which a teacher would approach them, and target procedures to learners with specific disabling conditions. Thoughtful attention is paid to alternative assessments, the role of the paraprofessional, multicultural concerns, the effects of peer relationships, the use of assistive technology, early intervention, and more.
