The Classroom Teacher's Inclusion Handbook: Practical Methods for Integrating Students with Special Needs

Fourteen?types of special-needs students are?discussed in?this handbook on meeting the needs of a diverse student population within a mainstream classroom. Ranging from students with behavior disorders, ADHD, and mental retardation to the blind, terminally ill, and gifted and talented, each profile includes a clear definition, characteristic behaviors, and suggestions?for working with that student's?specific strengths and weaknesses. A section?devoted to?inclusion strategies helps educators set goals for special needs students, define the roles of other students in the classroom, and work with the administration if mainstream placement is unsuccessful.
