About
In Designing for Inclusion, Robin Cunconan-Lahr and Barb Gentille Green offer Individualized Education Programs (IEP) team members-including educators, school administrators, caregivers and families, and students themselves-a set of resources to design the best IEPs possible.
They empower team members by providing essential background knowledge of the landmark special education laws that have established students' civil rights to a free and appropriate public education, which includes access to the general education curriculum. They then show how team members can leverage the research-based framework of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) to ensure that every student with disabilities has a full and valued presence and participation in inclusive learning communities.
In a "Gathering Room" at the end of each chapter, the authors offer guiding questions and places to write so that team members can collect their thoughts, promote collaboration, and reimagine what inclusion truly means.
