This article provides some great suggestions for teaching these important skills. I first heard about the article on a great teacher podcast by Todd Watson, LD Resource teacher in Peoria District, AZ. Listen to his podcast--it's a wonderful way to communicate with his parents--positive, informative, encouraging and educational!

A must-read, research-based article that supports the use of technology in math instruction for all students, but especially special needs students with learning disabilities.
world's leading website on learning disability and ADHD-excellent articles, teaching strategies and tools for teachers, parents and students. Companion sites are Reading Rockets, Colorin Colorado and Adolescent Literacy.
Excellent suggestion for using video iPods with special education students. They can listen to content or tests being read and follow along with both the visual on the iPod and the hard copy.
This blog and live show is always excellent. On this particular session (July 16, 2008) Lisa Parisi is interviewed about her successful inclusive classroom. Lisa is an awesome web 2.0 educator and her blog is definitely worth following!
