Consider students in grades 5th-7th for this assignment. Select a specific disability category (intellectual disability, specific learning disability, emotional behavior disorders, autism spectrum disorder, traumatic brain injury, or orthopedic impairment). Create a 250-500 word digital brochure that could be given to families and provide information about services and supports for individuals with disabilities.
The brochure should include the following:
- Short rationale explaining how you will use the brochure to communicate with parents/guardians and establish mutual expectations to help you work collaboratively to support child development and achievement.
- Short definition and explanation of the disability category including the developmental and individual differences typically associated with the disability category.
- Three developmentally appropriate, specially designed instructional strategies that can be used to address the educational needs of students with this disability.
- Three intervention strategies families can implement at home to promote communication skills, social skills, and literacy skills in their children affected by the chosen disability.
- Three communication/collaboration strategies that can be employed by the state, school, service providers, and parents/guardians to implement intervention services to support student achievement and development.
- Recommend local organizations families could use to learn more about the disability and community services that might be available to them. Provide contact information for the organizations and services.
Support the assignment with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
