About SES

SpecialEdSimplified is a small business founded by two Special Education Teachers, Erica Price and Christina Willoughby, in order to create curriculum for a very small, but important student body – students with moderate to severe disabilities.

In the past, students with moderate to severe disabilities have been unsuccessful or made limited progress when accessing the general education curriculum in math, reading, writing, social studies, and science. We have now discovered an essential need for these students to be included in different integrated instructional settings. 

No Child Left Behind and IDEA mandate that standards-based learning is to be provided to all students, including those with moderate to severe disabilities. These students must also show progress in state standards-based learning activities. Alternate Assessment objectives have been aligned by states to include achievement standards in the areas of math, reading, writing, social studies, and science. As a result, classroom instruction is obligated to provide students with moderate to severe disabilities with activities that align to state standards, and enable these students to make progress.

When appropriate modifications are accessible, this student body can significantly participate and make measurable progress. Instructional approaches must facilitate student skills in both written and oral communication processes, due to communication being included in all aspects of instruction. Instructional techniques must incorporate modified activities within the differentiated formats, which will provide for participation and learning.

As teachers become accustomed to different instructional techniques, they must also understand the differences that must be included for students who have significant cognitive, sensory, motor and communication disabilities. SpecialEdSimplified emphasizes individualized modifications and how our students can successfully apply this new information to their real-life situations. Guided practices using student-engaged scaffolding techniques provide an extremely effective framework for instruction in these core content areas, which require higher order thinking skills, and enable students to make the necessary progress for academic and vocational success.

I am beyond grateful to have materials from SpecialEd Simplified! The lessons are broken down and accessible for all of my students. It is much easier to focus on delivering meaningful instruction when I don’t have to worry about developing the lessons myself.

The curriculum is a time saver for busy teachers. The curriculum gives me a place to start instruction, and I don’t have to put in hours searching for picture symbols or coming up with my own ideas from scratch.

I teach a wide variety of grades.  I'm in a small school that has middle and high schools combined.  I teach 6 grades.  So, having pre-made materials that I could print and sort by student made it easy for me to stay organized while working with multiple students on multiple grade levels, ability levels, and subjects all at the same time.  This same binder system also eliminated the need for substitute lesson plan preps as my paraprofessional and the sub were able to easily see where each student was at that moment and continue instruction.

Trying to teach standards to students with significant cognitive, communication, fine motor, gross motor, and social skills deficits is like trying to catch a wild muddy hog! Thankfully SpecialEdSimplified has done exactly what their name says! Taken abstract standards and turned them into accessible and simplified standards for my students. SpecialEdSimplified not only simplified the standards but also my lesson plans!
