Pricing/Ordering
Card catalog description
As an increasing number of students who are deaf-blind join their peers in typical
classrooms, educators need guidance to create supportive environments that maximize
students' potential for learning and personal growth. This timely book discusses in depth
the rationale for including students who are deaf-blind in typical classrooms and explores
the issues that surround such important areas as behavior, mobility, communication, and
transition to adult life. In addition to offering sound advice on how to physically adapt
a classroom, move from one activity to another with minimal distractions, accommodate
unique behavioral and medical needs, and more, this practical text also answers important
questions. Equally valuable for professionals who are including students in regular
classrooms as well as for those still investigating the facts, this perceptive book gives
readers an overview of the issues to consider in actively supporting the inclusion of
students who are deaf-blind.
