Appendix B
Helpful Teaching Resources
The following teaching resources, listed alphabetically by title, are a sampling of those that we feel will provide high-quality information and guidance on meeting IEP goals and objectives for students with ADD/ADHD, ASD, NLD, ED, and S/LI. With the exception of the ASD-specific and miscellaneous titles listed at the end, the teaching resources are categorized according to specific skill areas as a convenience to the reader, and may be used across a wide range of disabilities and functioning levels.
In addition, it should be noted that the Library of Speech Pathology Book Club (717–918–4120) is an excellent repository for difficult-to-find resources on communication, language, and critical thinking.
