Award-winning educator Beverley Holden Johns offers a valuable collection of modifications and accommodations for students with special needs.

- Hundreds of adaptations for lectures, worksheets, vocabulary instruction, student behaviour, testing, and the classroom environment

- Practical coverage of the legal basis for adaptations, including current updates

- The role of adaptations in Individualized Education Programs
