401 Practical Adaptations for Every Classroom

Learning and behavior consultant Johns (MacMurray College) has 39 years of experience working with students with learning disabilities and behavioral disorders in the public schools. She offers all classroom teachers, from new to experienced, an array of adaptations for students with special needs that are not labor intensive or expensive and that will make teaching easier. Following opening discussions about the need for adaptations, important considerations in making adaptations, and ways to make adaptations on a shoestring budget, the remaining 11 chapters describe hundreds of adaptations for lectures, worksheets, behaviors, the classroom environment, movement, vocabulary, student response, timing/scheduling, note-taking, testing, and homework.
