Description:

EDSP 428 is designed to provide candidates in the Education Specialist Moderate to Severe Disabilities Credential Program with a research-based perspective on developing skills that are functionally tied to real world demands and that are referenced as the requirements for successful inclusion in school, community, and workplace. The relationship among assessment, curriculum, and instruction is explored through the examination and application of a variety of informal assessments, instructional strategies, and curricula. Curricular modifications and instructional strategies that support students with moderate/severe disabilities in inclusive settings are investigated within the context of access to the core curriculum and content standards. Topics include medical and health issues and competencies for teachers of students who are medically fragile or have multiple disabilities and the building of the circle of supports for learners with significant disabilities and health-related needs. The concepts of the “least restrictive environment,”dignity of risk, school to work transition, self-advocacy, and inclusive communities are explored. Grade only.
