This book offers a unique coaching model with a practical approach for special education teachers and service providers.

By empowering special education personnel to participate as coaches, educators can go beyond simple accommodation and actively provide a less restrictive setting, dynamically assess skills, and build an effective coaching network to engage students throughout the entire school day. Throughout the book, readers will find vignettes that illustrate the reality of special education. Each vignette is concluded with evidence-based support that describes the positive results of the strategies implemented. This book introduces coaching methods that will guide teachers and instructional staff to create and maintain a "solutions focused" coaching community.Provided in this text are vignettes that illustrate the reality of special education. Additionally, approaches for addressing the real word needs of students with ASD are provided, along with evidence-based support that describes the positive results of the strategies described.This text also introduces coaching methods that will guide teachers and instructional staff to create and maintain a "solutions-focused" coaching community.
