Book excerpt: As an increasing number of students who are deaf-blind join their peers in typical classrooms, educators need guidance to create supportive environments that maximize students' potential for learning and personal growth. This timely book discusses in depth the rationale for including students who are deaf-blind in typical classrooms and explores the issues that surround such important areas as behavior, mobility, communication, and transition to adult life. In addition to offering sound advice on how to physically adapt a classroom, move from one activity to another with minimal distractions, accommodate unique behavioral and medical needs, and more, this practical text also answers important questions. Equally valuable for professionals who are including students in regular classrooms as well as for those still investigating the facts, this perceptive book gives readers an overview of the issues to consider in actively supporting the inclusion of students who are deaf-blind.
