Each year, the TASH Conference brings together a diverse community of stakeholders who gain information, learn about resources, and connect with others across the country to strengthen the disability field. This year’s conference theme, “Be Creative - Innovative Solutions for an Inclusive Life,” reminds us to think outside the box during times of uncertainty. Creativity, innovation, and determination can pave the way for meaningful and inclusive lives for people with disabilities.
This presentation highlights innovations and outcomes from an Office of Special Education Programs funded Teacher preparation grant as related to teachers' experiences in implementing evidence-based practices over the past four years. Specifically, the presenters share their experiences of coordinating with teachers who were new to working with students with significant learning needs and teaching them to apply evidence-based practices in their classrooms with the goal to increase inclusion for students with significant disabilities. The presenters will findings from the past four cohorts and share strategies to assess and target evidence-based inclusive practices.
