As educators, we know that no two students are alike. Each student comes with their own abilities, strengths, interests, and personality - and they all deserve to be celebrated for who they are. The ability to recognize and celebrate differences in one another is a crucial skill for children to learn, but it’s not always intuitive. This can be especially true for peers of students with disabilities.
There are over 7.5 million American children ages 3-21 who receive special education services, or 15% of all public school students. This constitutes a large number of children who require individualized support beyond the general education curriculum as determined by the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). The pervasive special education teacher shortages are put into perspective when one considers all the individual students whose educational needs are affected.

Every student deserves equitable and inclusive access to the general education curriculum that complies with state standards. How does an adapted curriculum play a role in accomplishing that for students with disabilities? An adapted curriculum does not change the what when it comes to learning, it simply redefines the how.
Students with moderate to severe disabilities often have communication impairments and difficulty getting their wants and needs met. Teaching language is an essential part of the job of a special educator, and yet, can be extremely complicated. For instance, think of the word “book.” While the word itself may be simple, the student has to be able to apply the word in many different contexts.
