  • What is backward chaining? Backward chaining is such an important idea in the special education world. Basically, you teach a student a skill by starting at the end and then slowly backing up each step until they are able to complete the task on their own. This technique can cut down on frustration, allows for more visuals or hands-on learning and often helps students reach independent levels more quickly.



    In this episode you will learn:

    What is backward chaining and why it is important in the special education classroom.

    Practical examples of backward chaining that you can use today.

    How to reduce frustration in the learning process.

  • When students with disabilities face academic or social challenges for which they feel ill-equipped, some give up, avoid tasks, or act out. These students, especially those with neurodiversity or trauma history, may exhibit poor executive functioning skills or struggle with resiliency, the ability to overcome and adapt to challenging situations.

    IEPs that ignore trauma history may interfere with student progress. Educators should meet students with disabilities where they are, setting goals emphasizing executive functioning skills and fostering resiliency.

    In this episode you will learn:

    How to set reasonable expectations

    Understanding executive functioning

    When to address resiliency

    How to promote backward chaining
