The Problem

This tool will help you go from borrowed, bought, or mandated lesson to a more inclusive lesson for all. Many teachers plan their instruction by using existing lesson plans. Starting with a lesson that comes from a curriculum package, online site, or colleague may save time, but also requires adjustment to meet your needs as a teacher and the needs of your students, especially those with significant cognitive disabilities. Think about your student with significant cognitive disabilities and what you are teaching, and let's get started!

Grab your lesson and let's get started! How much time do you have?

Select a timeframe to begin working on your lesson:

In 5 minutes: you will identify the most important content (what) and instructional strategies (how) in the lesson.

In 15 minutes: you will dig deeper into lesson design and get ideas to implement a specific instructional strategy to reduce barriers for students, including students with significant cognitive disabilities.

In 45 minutes: you will have the opportunity to build your own skills or facilitate learning opportunities for all students, including a student with significant cognitive disabilities.
