Severe Disabilities Case Studies: Placement and Curriculum

Use the attached case studies and write a 525- to 700-word report in which you address the following questions for the case study students:

• What transitional needs might each student have as they transition from elementary, middle, and high school into adulthood?
• What are some assistive technologies that can help integrate these students with severe disabilities into schools and the community?
• What key elements and evidence-based approaches need to be in place for these students to develop friendships and durable relationships in and beyond the classroom?
• Looking ahead, what issues and challenges do you think that these students will encounter as adults?

Use two to three references to support your conclusions.

Format your report and references according to APA guidelines.

Answer preview

Transitioning from elementary into middle and high school into adulthood for these students can prove demanding because of the shifts in roles and expectations from individuals. It should be noted that these transitional needs are based on individual needs and vary from one person to the other. Those who should be collaborative in the transition include parents, students, school professionals, agencies, and administrators (Cheak‐Zamora et al., 2015).
