The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) clarifies that specially designed instruction (SDI) means adapting the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to address the unique needs that result from the disability. But what does this look like in practice? In this three-part virtual series just for members, Dr. Tessie Bailey and Sara Evans will dive into each of the three SDI instructional adaptations and share approaches for designing and delivering SDI adaptations across grade spans and areas of academic and functional need. Each interactive session will share practical approaches and resources to support implementation and offer a brief question and answer session. This series is designed for IEP Team members, educators responsible for the design and delivery of SDI, and special education administrators. It is a great opportunity for new and experienced educators interested in reviewing, refining, and reflecting on their current SDI practices. We know schedules are busy, but we hope attendees for this series will plan to participate in all three sessions.

At the end of the 3-part SDI series, CEC members will be able to…

• Describe the three elements of instruction that can be adapted for SDI under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
• Use practical approaches to develop and implement SDI adaptations for students with disabilities.  
• Access available resources to refine skills to effectively and efficiently implement SDI adaptations documented in the IEP.
