SpecialEdSimplified strives to provide students with moderate to severe disabilities access to Common Core State Standards via individualized instructional techniques that when incorporated within their instructional day, will enable them to make progress when participating in the general education curriculum in the areas of math, reading, writing, social studies, and science.
SpecialEdSimplified scaffolds and differentiates curriculum to include students at all ability levels and emphasizes individualized modifications to allow our students to successfully apply new information to their real-life situations. By providing appropriate modifications, students with moderate to severe disabilities can actively participate within the general curriculum and make sustained and measurable progress. Guided practices using student-engaged scaffolding techniques provide an extremely effective framework for instruction in the core content areas, which require higher order thinking skills, and enables students to make the necessary progress for academic and vocational success.
As skills are acquired higher level tasks are added to engage students in challenging and achievable learning objectives to help foster their learning independence and problem-solving skills. Instructional approaches also facilitate student skills in written and oral communication enabling them to effectively communicate what they have learned across all settings.
