DOWNLOAD EBOOKChildren with sensory processing disorder (SPD) show academic underachievement, inattention, and disruptive behaviors in general education settings. This project explores the need for environmental modifications and instructional supports in general education inclusive classrooms. The literature shows that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often experience SPD as a comorbid condition, which negatively impacts their ability to learn and function at school. Additionally, classroom design and instruction lead to overstimulation in students with SPD. Research has established that sensory based interventions have positive effects on a child's level of focus and attention. A guidebook has been created and included that provides strategies and supports for educators to use in designing a sensory friendly classroom. This resource allows teachers to implement environmental modifications and instructional strategies throughout their daily routines to meet the needs of students with SPD and ultimately, increase academic and social growth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKClassroom designs have changed due to federal regulations and environmental pressures; they are now inclusive of general education students and special educations students, are bright and full of visuals, have students moving from station to station, and require students to sit in their chairs for longer periods of time. Teachers have heard of sensory processing, but many do not understand the concept and how the environment in the classroom may affect student's learning. Occupational therapists are experts in sensory processing and have the responsibility of educating teachers on how they can create a more supportive learning environment. Analyzing and presenting research on seating alternatives, lighting, noise in the classroom, and visual stimuli during a continuing education course will contribute to teachers understanding of how their students are processing all the environmental sensory stimuli and how teachers can add or eliminate items in their classroom to enhance the learning environment.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo create truly inclusive school and classroom environments, educators must be prepared to include all students--including students with intellectual disabilities, who are not always given the opportunity to be full participants in the classroom. This book provides an overview of the history of inclusion, the philosophy underlying inclusion, and the role that curriculum accommodations and modifications play in making inclusion possible. The author discusses four ways to modify curriculum for students working well below grade level: altering content, conceptual difficulty, educational goals, or instructional methods. She then provides 40 curriculum modification strategies, based on Robert Marzano's New Taxonomy of Educational Objectives, with directions for implementation and samples of student work.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEvery teacher knows them - the students who are continuously balancing on their chair legs or who prefer to hide in their hoodies all day long. These students are using all kinds of tricks to be able to stay focused, as they are under- or overresponsive to sensory input and trying to restore their balance. Children who struggle with processing sensory input can experience a wide range of symptoms, including hypersensitivity to sound, sight and touch, poor fine motor skills and easy distractibility. Using this accessible, science-based guide, school staff can support these students by understanding their symptoms and how they impact their learning. Teachers can learn to look at students in a different way: through so-called 'SPi glasses', introduced in the book. With these glasses on, you learn to recognize behaviours linked to sensory processing and respond quickly, easily and with more understanding, without using a diagnosis, medication or therapy. The techniques provided help children feel settled and soothed at school, enabling them to learn and communicate better. Creating the perfect learning environment for all students - a sensory supportive classroom - this tried and tested guide is an essential tool for teachers (with or without prior knowledge of SPD), to better support and understand their students and their sensory needs.
