Special Education Inclusive Services
-
The Inclusion in Texas Network works in collaboration with the Texas Education Agency (TEA) to build a statewide culture of high expectations for students with disabilities and to significantly improve academic and functional outcomes for students served by special education. Our goal is to build school district capacity to develop and appropriately implement instructional programs that provide meaningful access to inclusive environments and grade-level standards, where appropriate. Our region-wide professional development, customized training, and individualized technical assistance allow us to guide districts and charter schools in meeting the requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities Act.

Our Inclusive Services consultants offer support in the following areas:
- Developing and supporting inclusive environments
- Developing and supporting collaborative relationships between educators
- Utilizing instructional best practices and strategies to meet the needs of diverse learners
- Classroom, campus, district, and statewide assessment requirements as it relates to accommodating the needs of students with disabilities.

Inclusive Practices in Reading
LITERACY FOR ALL ASYNCHRONOUS COURSES AVAILABLE THROUGH TEALEARN.COM
Many students in grades 4-12 lack proficiency in foundational reading skills. This is the reason many older students cannot comprehend text. This session addresses the needs of those students. This asynchronous training will address the science of teaching reading and include an overview of what skills need to be mastered to become a proficient reader, how the brain learns to read and, the characteristics of dyslexia and dysgraphia. It will also address how a student’s learning abilities associated with reading can impact a student’s ability to read and what instruction and accommodations can remove the barriers of learning.
