Here is a guidebook that will help you select appropriate instructional objectives and plan instructional programs for school-age children with deficits in oral and written communication. The book will be especially useful in planning instructional programs for children with communication disorders. The book includes the following:

• Skills checklists to facilitate the identification of specific targets for basic communication skills
• Strategies for writing the IEP
• Activity suggestions relating to specific IEP goals
• Tips for developing IEP goals that are relevant to academic standards of the classroom curriculum
• Comprehensive lists of IEP objectives for developing listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills

Many of the goals in this book have been selected based on a comprehensive review of state standards for instruction in the elementary school grades.

This practical resource is a must for speech-language pathologists and special education classroom teachers. Reproducible record forms are included.
