Study Notes

Instructional Delivery Modes in Special Education

Instructional delivery modes in special education are tailored to meet individualized needs outlined in a student's IEP or 504 Plan.

Types of Instructional Delivery Modes

Inclusive Education: Educating students with disabilities alongside non-disabled peers, providing support services and accommodations within the general education classroom.
Resource Rooms: Specialized classrooms where students with disabilities receive targeted instruction and support from special education teachers, with partial participation in general education classes.
Self-Contained Classrooms: Classrooms providing a more specialized environment with a lower student-to-teacher ratio, where students with significant disabilities receive majority or all of their instruction separately from non-disabled peers.
Co-Teaching: Joint delivery of instruction by a general education teacher and a special education teacher in a general education classroom, allowing for differentiation and support to meet diverse needs.
Pull-Out Programs: Temporary removal of students with disabilities from general education classrooms to receive specialized instruction in smaller group settings, focusing on specific skills or interventions outlined in their IEP.
Individualized Instruction: Tailoring instruction to meet unique learning needs, including adaptive technologies, personalized learning plans, and accommodations to support access to the curriculum.
Specialized Therapies: Integration of occupational therapy, speech therapy, or physical therapy into the instructional delivery plan to support students with disabilities.
Alternative Learning Environments: Provision of instruction in alternative settings, such as homebound instruction or hospital schools, for students who cannot attend school due to medical or behavioral reasons.

Key Considerations

Instructional delivery modes are designed to ensure students with disabilities receive a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment possible, as mandated by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).
The specific mode or combination of modes used for each student depends on their unique needs and goals outlined in their educational plan.
