Disabilities, Teaching Strategies, and Resources

This site presents accommodation and inclusive strategies for students with disabilities. Topics include teaching strategies, learning environments, and assistive/adaptive technologies. All of the strategies have been found to assist students with disabilities in their academic pursuits. The strategies herein have been collected over the last 40 years primarily from science teachers, special educators, and by teachers in schools for the deaf and blind. This collection of strategies are not based on rigorous statistical experiments but rather on the craft of teachers knowledge about "what works" with students who are different even when the same disabilities. What works well for one student may or may not work for another, even though they have the same disability.

Please recognize that all strategies have "worked" for students with disabilities. Utilizing these strategies as a common sense solution to more effectively teach many of those with disabilities.

Eight general types of disabilities are presented across six science teaching methods, viz., teacher presentation, laboratory, field, reading, discussion, and research (48 subsets). Some 800 teaching strategies are presented.
