Social Studies for Students with Mild Disabilities

This short 3-page document focuses on teaching social studies to students with mild disabilities. The short article from Social Studies and the Young Learner gives instructional strategies on how to modify curriculum, which includes collaboration with other teachers, having the students work with each other, mnemonic strategies, using explicit instruction, and using real life examples for clarification purposes. It is a short article, and could go more in depth with its strategies and suggestions, but it is a good start to creating an inclusive curriculum in a social studies classroom.
