Students w/ Severe Disabilities and I-13

not enough information given as examples for students with severe disabilities. What about the students who have no understanding of the world of work , whose pleasures are simple , whose mental age is no more that 6 months old?. What significance does work have for these individuals? How should schools address students who are significantly more severe than your examples given? ADL's, physical therapy, occupational therapies are significant, not workings.Attending to a task, tolerating someone's touch. I think you need to revisit this issue and include all levels of severity. Areas of of employment/training should be reevaluated, I'm not sure this is appropriate for this population.

Thank you for your comment. We are connecting with some others in the field who are working on developing some additional examples and discussions. We will send out a message when those are posted. Please look back at this area of the website or under "what's new" for a link to those materials.
