Module 8 – Special Education: How do I teach students with low-incidence disabilities?

This module covers the characteristics and services for students with low-incidence disabilities, including significant intellectual disabilities, multiple disabilities, autism, and sensory disabilities. Our focus is on curriculum and instruction that balances 1) access to grade-level content and inclusion with peers with 2) individualized content that supports functional skills. Instructional methods in varied learning environments including home, school, and community-based settings, related services, and assistive technology are central to course content.
