Rebecca Moyes takes on one of the biggest challenges in the classroom: problem behaviors. She not only evaluates explanations for these behaviors, she explains why traditional approaches to managing poor behavior do not work for children with autism and Asperger's syndrome. She supplies practical tips on how to tackle the problem behaviors both in the classroom and outside it, including many individual examples. She also incorporates a case study with a behavior support plan which contains environmental supports to strengthen teaching strategies.

Instruction is the key to effective classroom management, whether you're dealing with disruptive students or not. With clear descriptions of processes and procedures, this book focuses on evidence-based instructional practices. It is divided into three sections: logic and evidence; day-to-day strategies; development and implementation, and each chapter has an accompanying video module.

Throughout the world, there has been a significant shift in whether, where, and how learners are educated regardless of their socio-economic, geographic, and disability status; gender and sexual orientation; family structure; and ethnic, racial, cultural, linguistic and religious background. Recognizing that the debates, challenges, research, initiatives, and recommendations concerning the best ways to provide a high-quality education to learners with a range of diversities continue to influence educational policies and practices around the world, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Inclusive and Special Education presents the contributions of a diverse international group of established and up-and-coming scholars who discuss an array of historical, current, and emerging issues that are at the intersection of inclusive and special schooling. While the Encyclopedia addresses inclusive and special education, the primary focus is on inclusive education as an international and 21st century movement that in part reflects and rejects the foundations of special education. By presenting global perspectives addressing the foundations, effective practices, policies, and workforce preparation initiatives related to inclusive and special education, these volumes examine a range of issues that are at the nexus of inclusive and special schooling.

Featuring chapters written by a diverse collection of educators within the discipline, Contemporary Issues in Special Education presents readers with insight regarding topics within the field of special education that are often deemed controversial in nature. The text encourages future educators to think critically regarding various challenges and opportunities they are likely to encounter during their educational careers. Over the course of nine distinct sections, students are exposed to chapters that discuss sensory friendly classrooms, positive behavior intervention and support, dangerous behaviors and crisis management, least restrictive environment, the relationship between special education and socioeconomic status, and the connection between English language learners and special education assignment. Readers learn about service and support animals in the school setting, assistive technology, transition services, mental health screenings in schools, disciplinary procedures for special education students, advice for engaging family members in an inclusive school community, and more. Designed to help future educators prepare to serve as highly effective and competent teachers, Contemporary Issues in Special Education is ideal for graduate-level courses and programs in special education instruction.
