Specially designed instruction means adapting, as appropriate to the needs of an eligible student, the content, methodology, and/or delivery of instruction to address the unique needs that result from the student’s disability. Specially designed instruction is specific to each student and is necessary to address gaps and accelerate academic, behavioral, and functional progress toward attaining standards. Specially Designed Instruction can take place in inclusive settings as well as separate, self-contained classrooms and facilities. Specially Designed Instruction, Increasing Success for Students with Disabilities author, Ann Beninghof, offers the roadmap for providing specially designed instruction in any classroom.
