• Summary:"This edition has been updated to include new, cutting-edge information. Chapters 1, 8, and 9 are excellent resources for using universal design for learning (UDL) and differentiated instruction (DI) and assessment to make classrooms welcoming and efficient for all learners. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 provide an extensive discussion of the spectrum of exceptionalities which many students experience. This discussion looks at chronic illnesses, emotional exceptionalities, and mental health issues. Chapter 4 includes an extensive discussion of intellectual disabilities, providing in-depth information on mild and severe intellectual disabilities and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), providing teachers with accurate descriptions of the students' needs, and tips for ways in which they can be successfully integrated into classrooms settings. An added section on Functional Behavioural Assessment for teachers will assist teachers in understanding the function of behaviour. Chapter 6 includes an extended section on education of Indigenous students and about teaching for reconciliation in addition to a discussion of environmental exceptionalities such as poverty, homelessness, and maltreatment. Chapter 11 focuses on transitions, one of the most challenging aspects of inclusive education. Throughout, there is a focus on creating safe, functional environments to discourage bullying. NEW TEDx Talks and other video presentations are identified that are related to the main idea of the chapter. Each short video is accompanied by a few questions to think about in relation to the content. Throughout, there is a focus on well-being of students and teachers; every chapter includes one or two annotated bibliographies on school-based mental health resources relevant to the topics in the chapter."-- Provided by publisher.
