In Part 1 of this two-part series, Emma Haring and I discuss tips for teaching students with Multiple Disabilities. Emma has been a teacher in this type of class (we called it a medically fragile class in our district) for many years. She has a ton of experience and wisdom that she shares generously! In Part 1 (Episode 25), she gives a lot of tips on how to discover what your students like and dislike, how to care for them as people, and how to give them a voice (even if they are nonverbal). Pre-service, new, and even veteran teachers will want to have a paper and pen nearby to take notes!
Then be sure to join us again for Part 2 (Episode 26), which will focus more on the daily schedule and some of Emma's favorite things to teach this population. Emma has also prepared a supplement to go with the episode, which includes sample schedules and other goodies.
