This course will focus on specialized teaching, learning, and support for learners with high incidence disabilities in inclusive settings. Students will develop a comprehensive knowledgebase of Individualized Education Programs and the roles of the general and special educators. Through research and evaluation of current research, students will encompass a detailed body of knowledge regarding least restrictive environments. Throughout the course, students will explain and critique various accommodations, modifications, and instructional methods, as well as, problem-solve to plan, develop, and execute effective instructional materials and methods for students with high incidence disabilities in inclusive settings.
