Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. Students with significant disabilities must have the opportunity to experience material over several days to fully assimilate what is being taught. Additionally, incorporating visual supports into your printables and class activities helps students focus more on the content you present, rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, asking students good questions will push them to think more deeply than before.
