Browder and Spooner (special education and child development, U. of North Carolina at Charlotte) provide a follow-up to Browder's previous text, Curriculum and Assessment for Students with Moderate and Severe Disabilities, that presents new guidelines and resources (with some examples and passages drawn from the previous volume) for current and future special education teachers to use with students with moderate and severe disabilities. In 15 chapters, education and development professors from the US incorporate both academic and life skills learning and discuss alternate assessment and individualized education plans, progress monitoring, and research and practice-based ways to adapt general education content in reading, math, science, and social studies and balance them with sensory, physical, and health care needs, communication and social skills, personal and daily living skills, and community and job skills, as well as the transition to adult living.
