The Adaptive Teacher: Faith-Based Strategies to Reach and Teach Learners with Disabilities will teach you how to maximize the effectiveness of your lessons with concrete strategies you can implement in your classroom tomorrow that will benefit all learners. Written by John E. Barone and Charleen Katra, who bring over forty years of combined experience working with people with disabilities, this guide for teachers and catechists addresses crucial topics that will enrich the scope and reach of your teaching.

This book provides the tools to

  • foster a welcoming environment for everyone;
  • understand the specific needs of learners with disabilities;
  • adapt your teaching approach for the benefit of all;
  • develop effective communication strategies;
  • help learners build confidence, independence, and ownership.

Beyond the wealth of practical knowledge, The Adaptive Teacher's overarching philosophy is firmly planted in the Good News, teaching that every person belongs in God's family, and each is a reflection of his love.

A Very Practical Resource

by

I have been deeply involved in advocacy for people with disabilities and those that care for them for nearly three decades. The Adaptive Teacher is one of the most practical resources I have come across. Everyone who regularly interacts with people with disabilities (especially intellectual/developmental disabilities) should have this wonderful resource.
