This manual offers definitions, techniques, and strategies to generate curricular adaptations to meet the needs of students with a range of intellectual abilities, and thereby increase the practice of inclusive schooling in which all children learn together and multiplicity of learning styles is valued. First, an in-depth definition of "adaptations" is offered, followed by a summary of traditional adaptations. Then seven strategies for modifying the general education curriculum are presented. These are: (1) change the instructional grouping or arrangement; (2) change the teaching format; (3) change the environmental conditions; (4) change the curricular goals or learning outcomes; (5) change the instructional materials; (6) change the level or type of personal assistance; and (7) create an alternative activity. Next, a six-step process for designing curricular adaptations is explained and illustrated with a case study. An appendix outlines types of information for schools to gather about general education environments and activities and includes sample forms and checklists. (Contains 22 references.) (DB)
