Week 4 - Discussion 2
Intellectual Disabilities
An important part of your job when working with children with
intellectual disabilities is the ability to modify instruction in order to best
meet their educational needs. Chapter 8 of our textbook offers many
teaching ideas and strategies for meeting the academic and social needs of
students with a variety of intellectual disabilities. For this discussion you
will have the opportunity to put those ideas into practice.
Step One: You will research one of the following intellectual
disabilities according to your last name.

Step Two: Choose one of the following grade levels and one of the
following academic skills. Then, find a lesson plan for the grade level and
academic skill you’ve chosen. Some lesson plan resources are listed, but feel

Step Three: Write a brief description of the intellectual
disability that you have been assigned including typical classroom behaviors.
Then, review the lesson plan you have chosen and share at least two
modifications you would make to the lesson plan in order to better meet the
academic needs of students with your assigned intellectual disability. In
addition, discuss at least two modifications you would make to the lesson in
order to include adaptive skills (social and life skills) as a part of the
lesson. Your modifications should be supported by ideas from the text and one
scholarly resource. Make sure to include the original lesson plan as either a
link or an attachment in your initial post.
