Editor's Notes
- #4 Prior to the meeting, what could Ricardo’s teachers do to help his parents feel valued as members of the IEP team and to better understand their role in developing the IEP? Prior to the meeting, Ricardo’s parents should have been involved in a number of parent-teacher conferences that helped to shape and implement prereferral interventions and to make environmental and instructional modifications. The teacher could employ the skills of effective collaborators and create a position for the parents on the team that allows them to address their concerns, as well as their desired outcomes, of the process. What additional information could Ricardo’s parents provide that would help the team better understand his needs and interests, particularly in the areas of reading and language development? Ricardo’s parents can give important information, such as the primary language spoken at home; the language spoken by extended family, caregivers, and community members. They can give information about activities and family interactions. They can give context to the development of reading skills through descriptions of his early experiences. They can provide the information needed to make intervention culturally relevant and appropriate. What do you see as important for Ricardo to learn in school? Ricardo should be exposed to the general education curriculum as much as appropriate and should receive the language services needed to succeed in the curriculum and general education setting.
- #5 Discussion: Teachers must attempt to meet the needs of all students who enter today’s classrooms. What conditions are necessary to support children who are disabled in the general classroom and to ensure that they get access to the general education curriculum? Ask students to describe how the curriculum and their teachers in elementary school responded to students’ individual needs. What enabled teachers to respond effectively?
- #7 An effective inclusive school promotes acceptance and belonging within a diverse culture. Within an effective inclusive school, students must have access to both formal supports (those provides by the school system) and natural supports (including family, friends, and classmates). i. Diversity, Acceptance, Belonging – An effective inclusive school promotes acceptance and belonging within a diverse culture. Formal and Natural Supports – Within an effective inclusive school, students must have access to both formal supports (those provided by the school system) and natural supports (including family, friends, and classmates). Students without disabilities can assist in the education of their peers with special needs by serving as models of appropriate behavior, by providing individualized instruction, and by facilitating the participation of students with disabilities in extracurricular activities. Non-disabled students benefit by learning how to teach, advocate for, and live with persons who have diverse abilities. Gather a panel of students who have participated in peer support programs, using either class members or students from area schools. Ask panel members to discuss their roles and responsibilities in peer support. Encourage panel members to discuss how they benefited and give specific examples of successful experiences.
- #8Â Effective inclusive schools provide services and support to students with disabilities in age-appropriate classrooms within a neighborhood school.
- #9Â Access to the general curriculum for students with disabilities is a critical provision of IDEA. Effective inclusive schools are characterized by schoolwide support systems that use both general and special education resources in combination to benefit all students in the school.
- #11Â Early intervention services and supports in an environment that is free of traditional categorical labels should be provided as early as possible to students who are at risk. Early intervention can abate the overall impact of disabilities as well as counteract the negative effects of delayed intervention.
- #13Â There is a developmental delay in one or more of the areas of cognitive development, physical development, communication, social or emotional development, and adaptive development. There is a diagnosis of a physical or mental condition that has a high probability of resulting in a developmental delay.
- #14Â IFSP like an IEP but to include all members of the family
- #16Â A preschool-aged child is eligible if he or she meets both of the following requirements: 1 - There is a developmental delay in one or more of the areas of cognitive development, physical development, communication, social or emotional development, and adaptive development. 2 - As a result of the delays, the child needs special education and related services.
- #17 An individualized education plan (IEP) must be developed for each eligible child using specialists from a variety of disciplines. Depending on needs, programs may focus on developing skills in communication, social and emotional learning, physical well-being, self care, and coping. The skills chosen should be based on a functional assessment of the child and the setting where he or she spends time that determines the child’s skills, the characteristics of the setting, and the family’s needs, resources, expectations, and aspirations.
- #18Â Evidence-Based Practices in Preschool Education: Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) - play, exploration, social interaction, and inquiry Age-Appropriate Placement - Teaching Functional Skills Inclusive Preschool Classrooms
- #20 Multilevel (Differentiated) Instruction: Teaching technique that addresses the variety of needs, learning styles, and interests in a diverse group of learners. Providing students with many different ways to access the instruction and demonstrate their learning. Like students themselves, differentiation can take on many forms. Differentiation can be accomplished in a number of ways: * Content -What the students learn * Process -Activities used to assist the learning * Products- Demonstration of learning The methods you use should be based on the student's needs: * Readiness -Student’s academic standing * Learning profile-How student learns * Student’s interest Universal Design for Learning: - “ Universal design means the design of instructional materials and activities that allows the learning goals to be achievable by individuals with wide differences in their abilities to see, hear, speak, move, read, write, understand English, attend, organize, engage and remember. Universal design for learning is achieved by means of flexible curricular materials and activities that provide alternatives for students with disparities in abilities and backgrounds..” Concept borrowed from architecture Curb cuts Automatic doors Built on premise that there is no such thing as a “typical kid” Based on the belief that technology can provide a medium for more flexible differentiated instruction Focuses on curriculum and minimizes the need for Assistive Technology Challenges how we teach and to rethink the nature of curriculum and one size fits all materials In the long run, “ It is more efficient and cost effective to consider and address the diverse range of needs during the design process, rather than as an adaptation after the fact.” Direct Instruction: The explicit teaching of new skills that: - present skills in small steps with concrete examples immediate feedback - independent practice until the concept is mastered - constant, systematic review and reteaching Assistive Technology Curriculum-Based Assessment/Measurement

Multidisciplinary Schoolwide Assistance Teams – To meet the challenges of individual diversity, schools have developed support networks that facilitate collaboration across professions. ii. Working Together as a Professional and Parent Team – The diverse needs of students with severe disabilities require that students have access to many different education and related service specialists who work together in delivering instruction and providing adequate resources through transdisciplinary teaming.
