For courses in Severe/Multiple Disabilities or Moderate and Severe Disabilities.

Comprehensive coverage of the major issues pertinent to teaching students with severe disabilities-highly useful information presented in a form readers can readily understand and apply.

In this comprehensive book, unparalleled for its level of currency and reality, the authors draw on their own personal experience and a broad array of professional literature to help make even the most complex research findings on severe disabilities understandable and usable in the real world of education today. They look at both methodology and curriculum, present topics in the order in which a teacher would approach them, and target procedures to learners with specific disabling conditions. Thoughtful attention is paid to alternative assessments, the role of the paraprofessional, multicultural concerns, the effects of peer relationships, the use of assistive technology, early intervention, and more.

The new Fifth Edition deepens the discussions of: how best to support students with severe disabilities to access meaningful opportunities for learning and relationships within inclusive school and community settings; how to ensure students with disabilities have the services and supports needed to participate fully in the life of their school alongside their peers; how to promote successful participation in diverse settings through quality indicators of inclusive education and research-based approaches; and how to make the best use of academic instruction and alternate assessments to evaluate students.

This text presents the ideal teaching and learning experience through:

• A comprehensive, clear approach, drawn from the authors' own experience and lauded for its level of currency and reality.
• Thoughtful attention to a number of topics of critical importance in working with students with severe disabilities.
• Up-to-date coverage of the latest topics in the field today.
