SYNOPSIS

Many teachers in American classrooms complain that they have not been adequately prepared to teach students with disabilities when they are suddenly thrust into the general population. Mayberry and Lazarus (both of Florida Gulf Coast U.) offer advice both to individual teachers attempting to cope with the situation and school systems that may institute training programs for their staff. After presenting basic information on the needs of disabled children, they review challenges to teaching and offer advice on how to incorporate impaired students into teaching strategies.
