An updated edition of an indispensable resource offers practical
strategies for teaching and supporting students with mental health and
learning disorders.
Covering topics including PTSD, bipolar disorder, autism spectrum
disorder, and many others, this accessible, ready-to-use reference
explains how each disorder or difficulty might be exhibited in the
classroom and offers straightforward suggestions for what to do (and
what not to do). Using clear, jargon-free language, the book helps all
educators--whether in inclusive classrooms, general education settings,
or other environments--recognize mental health issues and learning
disabilities that are often observed in students. Fully revised and
updated to correspond to the DSM-5, this edition addresses newly
diagnosed disorders, as well as incorporating the latest research and
interventions for existing disorders. The book also includes current
information about educational practices such as creating a culturally
responsive classroom and supporting students' social-emotional learning.
Digital content includes customizable forms from the book. A free
downloadable PLC/Book Study Guide is available at freespirit.com/PLC.
