EDUCATING STUDENTS WITH CEREBRAL PALSY
Cerebral palsy is the most common physically disabling condition affecting school-age students. Why, then, are so many educators and parents confused by the multiple and often interrelated aspects of this group of disorders?
Using easy-to-follow, demystifying language, Educating Students with Cerebral Palsy details how the physical, medical, sensory, communication, cognitive and social-emotional elements of cerebral palsy can impact learning--and therefore teaching – both at school and at home. Author Adine R. Usher, EdD, and her contributors emphasize the need for collaboration between educators and families, and they spotlight the voices of students and parents living with the hopes and challenges of cerebral palsy each day.
Carol L. Courtadon, special education advocate and parent, said of the book: "Having raised two children with cerebral
palsy, both in general education settings and in my practice as an advocate, I have seen the importance of teachers' access to effective support with respect to students with CP. This is an important book that will bring that support into the classroom within easy reach of every teacher: it will make a major difference in the lives of students with CP."
During her sixty-year career, Adine R. Usher, EdD, has taught students with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities, trained their teachers, and offered guidance to their families. Her national and international reach focuses on helping educators to understand and address the developmental barriers posed by cerebral palsy
