A strong IEP is more than paperwork. It is a plan whose pieces fit together. Writing an IEP is an art. Every IEP includes the same essential pieces: present levels, goals, accommodations, services, and progress monitoring. But having all the pieces is not the same as having a coherent plan. The art is in how those pieces connect—how a student’s needs lead to goals, how goals lead to supports and services, and how progress data shows whether the plan is working. The Art of the IEP gives educators, families, and specialists a practical framework for evaluating an IEP as a whole, recognizing when the pieces do not fit, and responding when the current plan is not producing meaningful progress. Use this book to: Identify goals that are vague or disconnected from the student’s needs Evaluate whether supports and services match the skills being taught Use progress data to decide when a plan should change Bring clearer concerns and questions to the IEP table The Four-Question IEP Framework What can the student do now, and where is learning breaking down? What specific skill are they working to develop? What will help them learn and practice it? How will we know if it is working? AdaptEd handbooks are used in more than 100,000 classrooms. Each book is designed as a practical reference for planning, meetings, instruction, and team decision-making. What’s Inside Measurable Goals — write stronger goals and recognize common problems Accommodations, Services, and Dosage — determine whether supports match documented needs The Law in Plain Language — understand IDEA, FAPE, LRE, and the Endrew F. standard Behavior Inside the Plan — connect FBAs, BIPs, and goals to the skills a student needs to build When the Plan Is Not Working — follow a six-step response when progress stalls Seven Reproducible Tools — review goals, prepare for meetings, and evaluate the plan This book explains the federal IDEA framework. States may add their own requirements. This is not a compliance manual, a walkthrough of your state’s IEP software, a generic goal bank, or legal advice. It does not tell you what to teach. It teaches the table how to tell whether a plan is any good — the critical skill that nobody trains.

When learning gets stopped in its tracks, something is in the way. Our newest handbook, When Learning Hits the Wall, helps educators make sense of those moments—when a student shuts down, rushes through work, or simply disengages—and respond with clarity instead of guesswork, even when they’ve already tried “everything.” It focuses on helping identify what system is breaking down in the moment and what needs to change so learning can resume. The book introduces a practical, research-grounded, barrier-based framework for matching support to real barriers—while keeping learning goals intact. Choose Digital, Print, or Both to access When Learning Hits the Wall. How This Book Supports Educators, Teams, and Families Better understand why learning breaks down in the moment Respond to shutdowns, rushing, and disengagement with clarity Match support to what’s blocking access Keep learning goals intact while restoring access to learning Who this is for (and who it’s not) Teachers in inclusive classrooms who need practical, in-the-moment ways to respond when students shut down, freeze, rush through work, or disengage Educators asked to “differentiate” or “provide accommodations” without a clear framework for deciding what actually needs to change Teachers supporting twice-exceptional, undiagnosed, or inconsistently accessing learners, where needs shift depending on task, pace, or environment School leaders and instructional coaches working to improve consistency and accuracy in support decisions across classrooms IEP and problem-solving teams frustrated by vague accommodations (like “preferential seating” or “extra time”) that don’t reliably restore access Teams seeking clarity without increasing documentation or compliance burden Parents and caregivers trying to understand why supports aren’t working—not just what supports are being used What’s inside This book provides a clear, repeatable way to understand why learning breaks down—and how to restore access when it does. First: A practical framework for identifying learning breakdownsLearn how to better identify what’s actually getting in the way when a student freezes, shuts down, rushes, or disengages. Then: A shared language for understanding barriersClarifies the difference between task demands, domains, hidden barriers, and access conditions—so decisions stay focused and consistent. At the core: The six hidden barriers that drive most learning strugglesClear explanations of processing speed, working memory, task initiation, attention shifting, organization & sequencing, and regulation load—with real classroom examples. Tools for identifying barriers in the momentQuick scans, flowcharts, and observation prompts designed to support real-time decisions, not after-the-fact analysis. Guidance for matching support to the barrier—not the behaviorLearn when accommodations restore access, when modifications are appropriate, and why good intentions sometimes lead to the wrong support. Barrier-based accommodation examples that actually generalizePractical ways to adjust pace, language, structure, and conditions so students can engage with the same learning goals. Disability snapshots as starting points—not conclusionsADHD, autism, dyslexia, DLD, mental health, intellectual disability, trauma, and TBI—included to support observation and context, not to prescribe support. Language that protects dignity and restores accessScripts and framing that help students re-enter learning without increasing pressure, shame, or confusion. This book is designed to be used flexibly—read cover to cover, referenced during planning, or pulled out in the middle of a tough moment when learning hits the wall.

AAC Handbook for SLPs The SLP’s Guide to AAC: From Assessment to Implementation AAC shouldn’t require guesswork… but most SLPs are left guessing.

Created by Megan Mott, M.S., CCC-SLP—an experienced, neurodivergent SLP—this guide is the step-by-step reference clinicians wish they had from the start.

A real chapter-book experience for students with significant support needs. Many students with significant intellectual, communication, or learning needs spend years on short passages, simplified stories, and isolated worksheets, without ever getting to follow a chapter book from beginning to end. The Tower Treasure changes that. Across 17 adapted chapters, students meet the characters, follow the mystery, notice clues, make predictions, answer questions, and come back week after week to find out what happens next. 17adapted chapters 700+Google Slides 17weeks of instruction 3printable journal formats Written by a speech-language pathologist. Works with any AAC system. Instant download for projector, board, or tablet. Everything included 17 fully adapted chapters of The Tower Treasure, rewritten in clear, accessible language 700+ Google Slides covering roughly 17 weeks of instruction Visuals for important people, places, and events What, who, and where preview questions for every chapter Multiple-choice and open-ended comprehension questions Interactive "try again" feedback when a student misses a question Look-back screens that send students back into the story to find the answer 3 printable journal formats per chapter: cut-and-paste, fill-in-the-blank with word bank, and independent writing Editable AAC icons to match your students' systems Optional sensory items and tangible extensions for each chapter Preview Chapter 1 free and see exactly how a lesson runs before you buy. A chapter book they can actually be part of The language is made more accessible. Visuals support understanding. Predictable routines help students know what comes next. Students can participate by speaking, pointing, selecting an answer, partner-assisted scanning, using AAC, or writing. The supports are substantial on purpose, but the experience still feels like a real book. What does a week actually look like? Students learn one predictable routine and use it through all 17 chapters: Preview: What? Who? Where? questions introduce key people, places, and events. Read: students follow the adapted chapter with clear language and visual support. Answer: multiple-choice and open-ended questions check understanding. Look back: students return to the story to find information and try again. Journal: students respond using one of three differentiated printable formats. The routine stays familiar while the mystery keeps changing. What happens when a student gets it wrong? They aren't simply marked wrong. They get a "Whoops, try again" screen and are directed back to the part of the story that can help them find the answer. Then they try again. Students practice looking back at the text, finding information, and using what they read, all while continuing to solve the mystery. Who is this for? This resource was created for students who are too often left out of traditional chapter-book experiences, including students with: Significant intellectual disabilities Complex communication needs Emerging literacy skills Significant language and learning needs AAC systems and other alternative ways to communicate The content is written for older elementary through high school (roughly grades 3 to 12): mystery, danger, and problem-solving, not "little kid" plots. Mixed-age groups can read the same story together while you adjust the questions and response formats for each student. Do my students need AAC to use this? No. Visuals, accessible language, repetition, predictable routines, reduced writing demands, and multiple ways to respond make the story accessible to a much wider range of students with significant needs. If your students do use AAC, the resource works with any system. Core-word-rich language, AAC modeling prompts, and editable icons let you match the visuals to whatever device or board your students already know. Whole group, small group, or 1:1? All three. Project the slides for shared reading and group discussion, pause to model responses on students' systems, use the comprehension questions as exit tickets or informal data, and extend with the printable journals. Plan on roughly one chapter per week for a semester-long unit, or adjust the pacing to fit your group. Can I buy this with a school purchase order? Yes. Visit our purchase orders page for school and district ordering, or email service@adapted4specialed.com. One mystery. Seventeen chapters. Students aren't completing 17 disconnected reading passages. They're following the same characters, noticing clues, making predictions, looking back for answers, and coming back week after week to find out what happens next. Because needing significant support shouldn't mean missing out on the experience of following a real story. Read together. Follow the mystery. Find out what happens next.

Just 80 words make up about half of everyday English. This is the curriculum that teaches them—systematically, across a full school year. AAC Core Word Builder: The Complete Bundle brings together all three sets of Meg Mott's structured AAC curriculum—60 weeks of ready-to-use lessons designed to turn foundational core vocabulary into real, generalized communication. Created by Meg Mott, M.S., CCC-SLP, AdaptEd's resident AAC specialist and parent of an autistic son. Originally built for teletherapy in 2020 and refined across years of real classroom and clinic use, this curriculum is now trusted by SLPs, special educators, and AAC teams across the country. Buy the bundle and save $30 versus purchasing Sets 1, 2, and 3 individually. Why core words matter Just 80 words make up about half of the English we use every day. These foundational words are how students share what they want, need, and feel—and they're the bridge between isolated vocabulary and real communication. For many students with complex communication needs, reaching those first words can feel out of reach. Without structured, sequenced instruction, core vocabulary stays locked behind frustration. AAC Core Word Builder is the systematic program that changes that—giving you 60 weeks of expert-designed lessons that move students from recognizing words to actually using them, across settings, with the people who matter. What makes this curriculum different This isn't a stack of flashcards or a pile of worksheets. Every week of instruction is built around one core word and seven coordinated activities—designed to engage students through multiple modalities, build regulation into the lesson, and extend learning beyond the session. Introductory games — low-pressure practice that makes new words stick without performance pressure Animated adapted books — real images and movement on every page to hold attention and reinforce the word in context Movement breaks — regulation built in, tied to the target word, so students stay engaged and focused Bonus activities — songs, videos, guided drawings, and book extensions that deepen learning across the week Parent handouts — clear guidance for families so vocabulary actually generalizes to home Homework — simple reinforcement that extends progress across settings, easily shared electronically You're not just teaching words. You're giving students the tools to use those words in authentic conversations, across environments, with the people who matter most. Who this is for SLPs who want a structured, evidence-aligned AAC curriculum without spending Sundays building lessons from scratch Special education teachers supporting students with complex communication needs across a full school year Teletherapy and hybrid clinicians who need engaging, screen-friendly materials that hold attention across digital sessions AAC teams looking for shared lesson materials that align across providers, classrooms, and home Parents wanting to extend AAC learning at home with structured guidance, not generic suggestions What's inside: 60 weeks of lessons The complete curriculum is divided into three sets, each introducing 20 weeks of high-frequency, functional core vocabulary. Together they provide a full school year of systematic AAC instruction. Set 1 — Weeks 1–20The foundation: words that get students moving, asking, and connecting. Go (2 weeks) · Turn (2 weeks) · Not/Don't (2 weeks) · Eat · Come · Put · Help · Like · Open · Want · All Done · More · What? · I/You · On · Off · Drink Set 2 — Weeks 21–40Building on the foundation: regulation, evaluation, and richer interaction. Stop · Get · Look/See · Up · Good · Make · Work · In · Who · Read · Different · Bad · Hear/Listen · Take · Do · Again · Wait · Happy · Sick · Out Set 3 — Weeks 41–60Completing the year: descriptive language, emotional vocabulary, and forward motion. All · Little · Where · Big · Silly · Watch · Sad · Some · Down · Dirty · Clean · Feel · Give · Fast · Slow · That · When · Ready · Away · All Gone Note: In Set 1, three high-utility words (Go, Turn, and Not/Don't) receive two weeks of instruction each because their frequency and functional reach justify the deeper repetition. This is intentional pacing, not padding. Bundle savings Set 1 individually: $59.99 Set 2 individually: $59.99 Set 3 individually: $59.99 Complete Bundle: $149 — save $30 Buy the bundle once.

For Years, You Didn't Have a Word for It. Now You Do. "I'm often daunted by reading about this topic, so I avoid it. This was presented in a way that did not overwhelm me at all. Concise and useful."— Ami C., verified buyer This is the guide for everything that comes next. Navigating Neurodiversity is a practical, field-tested handbook for the late-diagnosed adult—178 pages covering everything from diagnosis to daily life, written by someone who has lived it. ✨ What's Inside Diagnosis & identification → ADHD, autism, late-identified neurodivergence, and the many paths to self-discovery. Masking → what it is, what it costs, and how to start unmasking on your own terms. Executive functioning & sensory → ND profiles, regulation, stimming, and the real reasons "just try harder" never worked. Communication & relationships → the Double Empathy Problem, ND/NT dynamics, and scripts for being understood. Workplace & daily life → ADA accommodations, ND job strengths, finances, healthcare, and the things nobody warned you about. ND challenges → dysregulation, RSD, PDA, and self-injurious behaviors—addressed honestly. Finding affirming care → choosing a therapist, mental health considerations, and what non-affirming care looks like. 👤 Who It's For This is for the adult who got their diagnosis at 32, or 47, or 58—or who is starting to recognize themselves in what their child or client is going through. It's for the person who spent decades being told they were lazy, sensitive, dramatic, or just trying harder than everyone else seemed to need to. It's also useful for the educational therapist, the partner, or the friend who wants to understand what their client or loved one is actually navigating. A note on what this book isn't: it's not a guide for adults with significant support needs, and it's not a parenting resource. It's for the person who made it into adulthood by adapting—and is ready to stop doing that alone. ✍️ Written by Someone Who Lives It Megan is a late-diagnosed SLP and mom to three neurodivergent kids. Her bestselling children's handbook has sold 25,000+ copies—this is the adult companion. 178 pages drawing on lived experience, clinical practice, and the work of leading neurodiversity-affirming voices. 📦 Choose Your Format Digital PDF → instant access, searchable, start tonight Paperback → tactile, durable, lays open on your desk for daily reference Bundle (Best Value) → both formats, save when you get them together 🎉
