collection of research done by a professor at a university on the
disability. It has a summary, characteristics, links, and
data.
- Slide 27
- STRATEGIES & FACTS Encourage your school to create
professional development days about multiple and severe disability.
Repetition of skills is important due to the easy loss of skills
through disuse. Use aides and volunteers Have physical activities
incorporated into the lessons but be sure they are able to achieve
them on their own Facts: About 0.1 8% of the population is covered
under IDEA for this disability. Complications before, during, and
after birth can cause this disability. Sources:
