A couple of indespensible sites.

As a new teacher of students with severe disabilities I found myself at a loss for effective strategies and curriculum to help my students. I searched and searched and stumbled one day on http://www.cindysautisticsupport.com This site became a starting point for many of my journeys into the world wide web in search of strategies and ideas which would work with my students who are severely and profoundly disabled in a variety of ways. I found that even the majority of special education sites I visited didn't address my students' needs. But Cindy's site led me to resources I could use both for my students with autism as well as other disabilities. It was through a link on Cindy's site that I found Teaching Learners with Multiple Special Needs. I am learning so much from this exhaustive site and I am very grateful to it's author. From both of these sites I have discovered countless resources for my students, and expect to continue to visit them regularly.
