RESEARCH I have done a considerable amount of consulting with local public schools to develop appropriate reading programs for students with intellectual disabilities, mental retardation, and other developmental disabilities. The goal of these consults is to develop accommodations and modifications of the regular curriculum that can be adapted to the regular classroom and be reinforced by the regular and special education teachers. As I have monitored these programs, it becomes clear that most districts need support in modifying materials as well as using supplemental aides such as digital cameras, vocabulary portfolios, and electric highlighting. Most students respond very well to these accommodations, and we have been successful in building quality programs for students. |
