The difficulties that students with individual education plans (IEPs)
encounter in general education classrooms are rarely impossible to
overcome. What is required to help them succeed is figuring out the
individualized supports they need, whether that involves accessing
technology, receiving assistance from a peer or adult, or curricular and
assignment adaptations.
In this comprehensive handbook from The Norton Series on Inclusive
Education for Students with Disabilities, James R. Thompson synthesizes
the work of a team of experts to provide a roadmap for that
problem-solving process. The Systematic Supports Planning Process is
structured around three central questions that lead to identifying
different types of support:
- "What to teach?"--curricular adaptations
- "How to teach?"--instructional supports
- "How to promote participation?"--participation supports
Packed with easy-to-follow guidelines, as well as implementation tools
and examples, this book is a one-stop reference for planning,
delivering, monitoring, and evaluating the supports that students with
IEPs require.
