Overview
For students working below grade level, curricular modifications can provide equal and meaningful opportunities to learn alongside their same-age peers. This book guides educators on how to modify the curriculum for students with intellectual disabilities participating in the general education classroom, providing 40 strategies that demonstrate how to alter the materials or objectives of a lesson. After introducing the reader to the benefits of inclusive education and to the basics of educating students with intellectual disabilities, the book describes how to design appropriate curricular modifications. Each of the following chapters then presents ten strategies for modifying lessons for Kindergarten through high school in four subject areas: math, English, science, and social studies. Vignettes demonstrate how to implement the strategies for modifying the curriculum in the classroom. A section of printable forms supporting the strategies are included.

This book provides a great foundation for educators or parents to understand the inclusion movement for students with more complex needs. Nicole provides a plethora of resources grounded in work samples for curriculum modifications to help bridge the gap for students with targeted academic needs. --Lisa Dieker, Ph.D.
As a mom whose daughter was a victim of badly done inclusion, I've read a lot of books on the subject and have always been frustrated by a focus on lofty theory over down-to-earth strategies. Teachers and administrators and school districts need to know how to do this, on the ground, right now. In Inclusion in Action, Nicole Eredics--who's had some experience doing this in the real world--provides just what's needed, from specific ways to adapt meaningful instruction for all levels of learner to worksheets I wish my kids could have had in their school days to a needed reminder that everyone in a school building has a part to play in inclusion. Get this in the hands of a teacher near you ASAP! --Terri Mauro
Inclusion in Action provides a strong theoretical foundation as well as many effective practices. Eredics reminds us that inclusion is a core belief and shares strategies to realize it in today's schools. --Whitney H. Rapp, Ph.D.
