This course begins with a review of the learning and behavioural characteristics of students with moderate to severe disabilities including students with intellectual impairment, autism, and other developmental disabilities. The educational implications of these learning and behavioural characteristics will be highlighted, including implications for the selection of appropriate functional intervention goals and objectives. Emphasis will then be given on developing and implementing individual educational programmes based on functional assessment methods and how to structure the environment to promote learning. The age range covered in this course is from early childhood through to secondary school aged children.
