PLANNING FOR THE SUCCESS OF STUDENTS WITH IEPS

A great special educator is an expert problem-solver.

The difficulties that students with individual education plans (IEPs) encounter in general education classrooms are rarely impossible to overcome. What is required to help them succeed is figuring out the individualized supports they need, whether that involves accessing technology, receiving assistance from a peer or adult, or curricular and assignment adaptations. In this comprehensive handbook, James R. Thompson synthesizes the work of a team of experts to provide a roadmap for that problem-solving process. Packed with easy-to-follow guidelines, as well as implementation tools and examples, this book is a one-stop reference for planning, delivering, monitoring, and evaluating the supports that students with IEPs require. James R. Thompson is a professor of special education and senior scientist at the Beach Center on Disability at the University of Kansas. He resides in Normal, Illinois, and Lawrence, Kansas.
