General education teachers are critical members of IEP and 504 teams, but many feel overwhelmed by the long lists of supports in student plans. Accommodations don’t have to be complicated: they’re everyday adjustments that remove barriers so students can access grade-level content. This worksheet highlights the most common, high-impact accommodations, provides classroom-ready examples, and includes a quick-check toolkit for teachers to confidently support students.

This guide provides educators with clear, actionable strategies for recognizing and responding to escalating behavior. By understanding the escalation cycle, educators can intervene early, prevent crises, and maintain safety and dignity for all students.
Many students, including neurodivergent learners, struggle to navigate the complexities of friendship. They may misinterpret social cues, overgeneralize trust, or assume all relationships operate at the same level. Teaching students to recognize different dimensions of trust helps them build healthy, reciprocal relationships, avoid misunderstandings, and respond effectively when conflicts arise.

The Participation in the General Education Setting section of the IEP is not just a compliance checkbox. It is the heart of a student’s right to access meaningful learning and social opportunities alongside peers. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), students must be educated with their nondisabled peers to the maximum extent appropriate.
Effective participation language in an IEP should reflect a commitment to inclusion, backed by specific supports and a clear rationale for any time spent outside the general education classroom. This worksheet provides tools, checklists, and examples that you can apply in your next IEP meeting or classroom planning session.
This guide is designed to help educators recognize and respond to students’ sensory needs by matching observable behaviors with practical, low-barrier classroom supports.
While not a substitute for an occupational therapy (OT) evaluation, the strategies outlined here can strengthen access, self-regulation, and engagement for all learners.
These strategies are meant to be flexible, preventative supports that can be embedded into everyday classroom practice, not just reactive measures when students are dysregulated.

This goal bank is designed to provide educators with up-to-date, strength-based, and inclusive examples of goals and objectives for students with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) in the areas of Reading, Math, and Writing.
Executive functioning (EF) skills are the mental processes that enable students to plan, focus attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully.
Students with challenges in EF – including those with ADHD, autism, or learning disabilities – benefit from explicit support and scaffolding.
This guide provides practical, classroom-ready strategies educators can implement immediately to strengthen EF skills across settings.

IEP meetings are critical opportunities for collaboration between educators, families, and students. When meetings are well-structured, all team members leave with a shared understanding of the plan and a commitment to implementation. This guide outlines three common IEP meeting types, provides sample agendas, and includes strategies, scripts, and checklists to help you plan and conduct meetings that are productive, compliant, and student-centered.
Transition planning is a required part of the IEP process that prepares students for life beyond high school. Under IDEA, transition services must be in place no later than the first IEP in effect when the student turns 16 (age 14 in many states) and must be reviewed and updated annually.
Effective transition planning provides a roadmap for postsecondary education, employment, independent living, and self-advocacy.
This worksheet offers a step-by-step structure to ensure every transition plan is actionable, student-centered, and aligned with the student’s goals and abilities.

Co-teaching is an evidence-based approach that allows two or more educators to share responsibility for planning, delivering, and assessing instruction for a diverse group of students. Studies show that when teachers intentionally implement co-teaching models, students with and without disabilities demonstrate stronger academic growth, improved social-emotional skills, and higher engagement.
Paraprofessionals are essential partners in supporting students with disabilities. Effective collaboration between special educators and paraprofessionals ensures consistency, reinforces instructional goals, and improves student outcomes. This toolkit provides clear role definitions, communication strategies, and actionable tools for maximizing collaboration.

Both 504 Plans and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) are legal tools that ensure students with disabilities can access and succeed in school. While they share the goal of providing equitable access, they stem from different laws, serve different purposes, and have distinct eligibility criteria, processes, and protections. This quick-reference guide is designed to help educators understand the differences at a glance.
Comprehensive, SMARTIE-aligned examples with data-driven benchmarks, progress monitoring tools, and actionable educator guidance.

This worksheet provides teachers with a ready-made, easy-to-understand reference guide to support students with IEPs. Organized by category and tiered by intensity.
This worksheet helps teachers integrate quick, meaningful SEL practices into the first 5–10 minutes of class. These warm-ups build trust, boost belonging, and create space for emotional check-ins. This is especially important for students with IEPs, trauma histories, or anxiety about school.
