Disability Resource Database
Create a database that will describe 5 out of the total types of exceptionalities (Emotional/ Behavioral Disorder, Specific Learning
Disability, Intellectual Disability, Other Health Impairment, Speech or Language Impairment, Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, Blind, Orthopedic Impairment,
Traumatic Brain Injury, Deaf-Blind, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Multiple Disabilities, Gifted and Talented) covered in this course. You are required to
have (a) the IDEA definition of the specific exceptionality, (b) one article with a *personal written summary (not the summary included in the
article) that addresses this exceptionality, and (c) 5 suggested evidence-based strategies for teachers to use in teaching students with the
exceptionality.
Strategies should be described thoroughly enough so they could easily be implemented in a classroom. Please support the strategies you suggest as
ways to increase student participation, and therefore learning, within the classroom setting. Make this a resource for your professional use.
NOTE: Your *summary abstract need only contain 5-6 sentences. Consider using “Wh” questions as your guide in writing this summary.
