Strategies for Teaching Students with Learning and Behavior Disabilities offers methods for working effectively with students who have learning and behavior disabilities. The text prepares teachers to meet the needs of elementary and secondary students in a variety of settings. It builds a foundation with information about general approaches to learning and teaching, then turns to specific content areas such as reading, math, oral and written expression, and social and study skills. The authors present information about classroom and behavior management, consultation and collaboration with families and professionals so that beginning teachers can develop a plan of action for the school year and experienced teachers can refine these skills.

The 11th Edition enhances coverage of behavioral disabilities, diversity, cultural responsiveness, and equity and reflects the latest research on PBIS, explicit instruction, applied behavior analysis, RTI, MTSS, and more.
