Educating Students with Intellectual Disability and Autism Disorder is a comprehensive resource, providing educators with the most up-to-date information on what works in real classrooms with real students. Essential Skills and Frameworks, the third book in the series, addresses the prerequisites for beginning to develop, assess, and teach curriculum and skills, and focuses on how a personally relevant curriculum can make instruction meaningful. The authors cover a range of topics, from augmentative and alternative communication to the foundations of student behavior, social interactions and communication, student self-determination, and supporting students with more complex needs and multiple disabilities.
