Description:

Like the highly acclaimed first edition, the second edition offers suggestions for turning professional differences in training and philosophy into assets, rather than barriers. Filled with updates and revisions, it offers in-depth guidance on assessment, curriculum development, and instruction for students with severe disabilities. Throughout the book, detailed case studies illustrate how to integrate therapy into educational programming and create a working team framework in daily collaborative efforts. Easy-to-follow processes for identifying team members, scheduling, developing IEPs, co-teaching, conducting team meetings, assuming multiple roles, addressing issues as a group, making decisions by consensus, resolving professional differences, and communicating with parents are included. Equally useful as a training text and as a professional development tool, this resource helps both students and professionals update their knowledge, refine their skills and increase their effectiveness.
