The phrase specially designed instruction is not new, but is being used more and more in discussions about educating our students with disabilities. IDEA states that students eligible for special education services must receive specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of a child with a disability. This session supports educators in developing essential knowledge and skills to ensure student success through SDI. Teachers will understand how to select and implement evidence-based interventions with fidelity to align with students' needs to provide the greatest educational benefit. Teachers will be able to refine their practices and discover ways to close the achievement gap for students with specific learning disabilities!
