Synopsis

Centered on the most recent, scientifically-based practices, Teaching Strategies for Students with Mild/Moderate Disabilities, 1/e, comprehensively details everything that pre-service teachers need to effectively teach students with mild to moderate disabilities.

 

This text includes not only empirically validated instructional strategies, but an array of relevant topics, such as the application of technology to the field and implications for changing demographics within U.S. schools.
