This unit on The Louisiana Purchase contains over 100 pages and 28 google slides of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism who are in middle or high school.

 

It addresses the main events and people involved in the Louisiana Purchase including the expedition by Lewis and Clark. All the information is presented in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material.

 

In addition, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation.

*****************************************************************************

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated into these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.
