Abstract

With the passing of NCLB and the focus on reading and math standardized assessment scores, STEM education is often not prioritized, especially for students with disabilities. Yet, we know that the critical thinking skills, goal setting, and processes involved in STEM are important for college, community, and career readiness. These papers explore how to improve instructional practices for students with a wide range of characteristics, such as Emotional and Behavioral disabilities, autism, and other neurodiverse students.
