Target audience: Teachers of students with moderate to severe mental
or multiple disabilities including deafblindness, or autism
Workshop overview: IDEA and NCLB require access to the general
education curriculum and the state academic content standards. Some
standards, like those that can be related to the use of money are
easy to incorporate within functional activities. Others can be
difficult to develop in ways that are feasible and meaningful for
students with significant cognitive disabilities. This workshop will
provide ideas for defining skills students can master and
instructional methods that give context and meaning to the skills.
