A guide to the intersection of trauma and special needs, featuring
strategies teachers can use to build resilience and counter the
effects of trauma on learning and behavior. Childhood trauma is a
national health crisis. As many as two out of every three children
in any classroom across the country have experienced some form of
trauma. Meanwhile, a recent study in Washington State showed that
80 percent of the children eligible for special education services
were exposed to early childhood trauma, which has been linked to
developmental disabilities. Add in the fact that Black children are
four times more likely to be classified with intellectual
disabilities and five times more likely than white students to be
classified with an emotional or behavioral disorder, and the
already daunting complexity of effectively serving kids with an
individualized education program (IEP) becomes overwhelming.This is
a whole school problem that requires a whole school solution. All
educators in both general and special education should learn how
trauma affects the brain and how any resulting atypical
neurological and psychological development affects learning and
behavior. In Trauma-Informed Teaching and IEPs, trauma expert
Melissa Sadin presents strategies for supporting the most
vulnerable students in general or special education settings,
across grade levels, and across the curriculum. You'll learn to *
Understand the effects of childhood trauma on the brain, learning,
and behavior. Weave caring into trauma-informed instruction. Apply
a trauma-informed lens to crafting IEPs. Conduct trauma-informed
functional behavior assessments. Once you understand the effects of
trauma on learning and development, you will explore classroom
strategies and IEP goals and modifications that can actually help
to heal your students.With rich examples and helpful strategies,
Trauma-Informed Teaching and IEPs gives teachers the most effective
tools to help build resilience for every student, no matter their
needs.

Historically, interventions designed to impact the lives of
disabled people were predicated upon deficits-based models of
disability. This began to change with the introduction of World
Health Organization (WHO) frameworks, particularly the
International Classification of Function (ICF), that emphasized
that disability could only be understood in the context of
interactions among health, environmental factors, and personal
factors and by examining the impact of such factors on a person's
activities and participation. The ICF identified personal factors
as among the elements of a social-ecological model of disability
but did not provide an extensive taxonomy of what constitutes such
factors. Understanding Disability examines personal factors that
come from the field of positive psychology and, as such, to begin
to identify and build strengths-based approaches to promoting the
full participation, dignity, and well-being of disabled people.
It seems each year we are faced in dealing with more and more
students who are displaying ever increasing levels of anger,
anxiety, and complex behavioral issues. Why are these children so
angry? So anxious? Exhibiting so many challenging behaviors? How do
we deal with students when they are annoyed, frustrated, anxious or
destructive? What works and perhaps, just as importantly, what does
not? In this informative book we will attempt to look at the
context that seems to foster these student's behaviors.
Additionally, we will take a step back and look at how to
practically deal with the many factors that support or positively
modify these behaviors in a productive and practical fashion. Then,
and most importantly, we will look at real-world and simple tools
that can be used immediately to decrease the incidents of tantrums,
diminish worry, destructiveness, and angry behaviors within the
school setting. How to foster communication with parents for a more
positive outcome as well as what we can do as an educational system
to support these vulnerable youths. The goal of this book is to
supplement and enrich your existing tools with others you can
quickly implement when working with these students during their
most challenging states.
With the continued rise in the diagnosis of autism for school-aged
students, particularly in the United States, the need for tailoring
our instructional practices and programs for this population is at
a pivotal point. Embracing and Educating the Autistic Child:
Valuing Those Who Color Outside the Lines, takes a look at the
extensive research pertaining to the unique learning needs and
characteristics of the autistic student. The authors provide
valuable insights into how educators, school leaders, parents,
community members and college professors can turn the tide to
academic success for this population of students.

Inclusive Instruction forStudents with Emotional and Behavioral
Disorders: Pulling Back the Curtain discusses the challenges of the
increasingly common practice of educating students with
disabilities in general education classrooms, citing that these
challenges are often due to the fast pace of instruction, the
emphasis on advanced concepts and skills that align with college
and career-readiness standards, and the presence of poorly
developed prerequisite skills that are necessary for traditional
academic success. This book posits that these challenges are
particularly salient to the education of students receiving special
education services for emotional disturbance (ED), as students with
ED have pervasive learning and behavioral difficulties that are
often resistant to typical instruction and intervention.
Contributors argue that despite increased awareness and application
of inclusive mindsets, school and post-school outcomes for this
student population continue to be a national concern in the United
States. In this book, contributors provide recommendations for
improving the manner in which schools serve this student population
through inclusive measures, along with resources for
administrators, teachers, and parents/guardians, that emphasize the
provision of a free appropriate public education for students with
ED. Scholars of education, disability studies, and psychology will
find this book particularly useful.
This book focuses on practical and productive techniques that can
be used in a variety of behaviour crisis situations that may occur
in a classroom. Teachers have told us that one of their major
concerns has been dealing with severe behavior problems in the
classroom. While there are many different types of crisis
situations that may occur having the proper ""tools"" can prevent a
situation from becoming even worse. The Classroom Teacher's
Behavior Management Toolbox provides a variety of crisis tools for
all types of situations. These tools have been gathered over the
years and have been very successful in actual classroom situations.

This book will introduce fourteen of the most important soft skills
in the field of education. It will explain how each skill is used
in teaching as well as ideas for how to model and explain them in
college classrooms, field experiences, and student teaching. The
chapters also contain ideas for administrators and mentor teachers
who are working with beginning teachers. Hopefully, by learning the
soft skills of teaching, pre-service education students and
beginning teachers will become successful instructors and models of
good citizenship in future classrooms.
