| Description |
| In response to the need to keep professionals informed about best practices, the American Association on Mental Retardation published, over a 10-year period, a series of small monographs translating research to practice in critical issues in the lives of children, youth, and adults with mental retardation or intellectual disabilities. These publications, referred to as the Innovations series, make up the chapters of this book and cover a wide array of topics, including a number that provided information on empirically-validated practices in the education of students with mental retardation. This book provides educators and practitioners with easy-to-follow descriptions of instructional practice that they can easily implement in their classrooms and community and clinical settings. The book is jargon-free, and user-friendly, with few reference citations and abundant examples. The book is organized around primary themes, from assessment and instruction, to classroom management, social and communicative behaviors, and self-determination. |
