Strategies for Teaching Learners with Special Needs presents a comprehensive exploration of how to teach students with mild/high incidence disabilities. It focuses on instructional practices that can be used in diverse, inclusive educational environments. Learning disabilities, mild intellectual disabilities and emotional and behavioral disorders are all addressed. The text ensures pre- and in-service teachers receive current and applicable instruction for contemporary education.
