Secondary Special Education Issues
It is important that secondary programs for students
with disabilities teach independent management of
everyday expectations through specialized strategies
and targeted direct instruction. CREC can provide
professional development, technical assistance
and instructional coaching to maximize resources,
redefine roles of staff and dovetail IEP requirements
with standards based practices.

and its partners. The curriculum is customized for
Connecticut schools and uses games and other
interactive activities to offer teens the knowledge and
skills they need to stay safe at work.

SRBI Framework: Developing, Maintaining and
