Schools & Teaching

To help all students excel in today's heterogeneous classrooms, educators must strike a delicate balance between meeting the needs of the entire class and meeting the needs of individual students. This comprehensive methods book provides a wealth of tools and techniques for creating educational environments where all students, particularly those with disabilities, have equal opportunities to flourish academically and socially. Building upon a historical discussion of general and special education reform, this resource explains how to optimize learning for a diversity of students. From preschool through postsecondary level, educators will discover strategies to help structure the classroom to foster positive peer relationships; perform student assessments that enable the development of individualized curriculum plans; modify curricular activities to meet students' individual strengths and needs; use activity-based instructional arrangements to facilitate learning; promote appropriate behaviors; teach daily living skills that prepare students for the responsibilities of adult life; and collaborate with students, parents, and colleagues to enhance creative problem solving. Classroom restructuring can seem overwhelming, but this book's sound advice and practical suggestions help lessen the challenge of moving toward inclusion. Classroom teachers, administrators, policy makers, and support personnel will turn to this reference as they work for more effective schools and heterogeneous classrooms.

For human services professionals, program staff trainers, and graduate students who are studying the education of individuals with severe disabilities, this comprehensive book offers a clearer understanding of the common issues individuals of all ages with the most severe disabilities face in their day-to-day interactions at school, at work, and at home.

Anatomy, fertility, sexually transmitted diseases, self-esteem, sexual satisfaction, and parenting are just a few of the topics included in its broad scope. Drawing heavily on the experiences of men and women living with SCI, the authors relay practical information in an easy-to-understand, no-nonsense style, acknowledging different lifestyles, tastes, values, and orientations. Written in a convenient question-and-answer format, this is a much-needed manual that allows individuals with SCI to explore their questions in private and at their own pace.

Sexuality After Spinal Cord Injury

In school, but "locked out": 13 youth, each with fewer than 10 productive words to use to build their relationship with families, teachers, and friends. That is, until they were introduced to the System for Augmenting Language, or SAL. In a wonderful meshing of science and the real world, this remarkable book chronicles the process of language learning through augmented means for people who have significant difficulty acquiring spoken language. 
In engaging storytelling style, speech-language pathologist Romski and psychologist Sevcik describe how they carried their research from language lab to school and in the process changed the lives of the youth to whom they brought the SAL. A replicable system that fosters naturalistic exchanges between communicative partners using electronic speech-output devices, the SAL extends the power of communication to children otherwise locked out of the world around them. With a new level of vocabulary mastery, students enjoy not only enhanced communicative skills but also higher judgments of competence from both familiar and unfamiliar observers. One award-winning SAL application, Project FACTT (Facilitating Augmentative Communication Through Technology) provides innovative augmentative communication services to school-age children with severe disabilities and is described in detail.
