Synopsis:

Written by leading experts in inclusion, Teaching Students with Special Needs in Inclusive Settings, Fourth Edition, provides a practical survey for general education teachers on how to best teach gifted, at-risk, and students with disabilities in the classroom. The fourth edition offers an overview of the different types of exceptionalities that teachers encounter. It presents extensive practical teaching suggestions, including enhanced coverage of professional and family collaboration, IEP programming, and cultural and linguistic diversity. This edition also focuses on helping readers make the links between understanding students' needs, required procedures, and classroom practices and strategies. Topics covered include: AD/HD, learning disabilities, emotional and behavioral disorders, mental retardation, sensory impairments, autism, traumatic brain injury, and other low-incidence disabilities.

From the Back Cover: Real students, with real IEPs<–>from start to finish.

Teaching Students with Special Needs in Inclusive Settings, 4/e, continues to provide a practical introduction to teaching children with disabilities in the regular classroom. The Fourth Edition has been crafted to increase emphasis on the IEP process, by introducing preservice teachers to 14 students with disabilities and their teachers. Each of these students is profiled at the start of a chapter, and preservice teachers follow the teacher as they evaluate the student, write effective IEP goals and objectives, and modify instruction in a way that is appropriate for that particular student. In this way, students are prepared not only to engage in the IEP process themselves, but are reminded of the individualities among all students and the impact a teacher can have on their success in the classroom.

With teaching tips, sample IEP forms, and countless applications for today's classroom, this book will prepare your students for the ups and downs of teaching in a diverse classroom.

Integrate IDEA 2004 into your course!
This IDEA 2004 Update Edition reflects the IDEA 2004 legislation in two ways:

• An “IDEA 2004” icon appears in the margins adjacent to relevant discussions throughout the book that have been revised to reflect IDEA ’04.
• “Guide to IDEA 2004” has been included as an appendix. It provides side-by-side comparison of IDEA ’04 versus the previous ’97 legislation for each of the statutes and a little friendly “background” where it will help the reader better understand the practical implications of the law.
