Abstract
This paper is indent to present inclusive strategies for students with disabilities in learning environments. Topics include teaching strategies, learning environments, and assistive/adaptive technologies. All of the strategies have been found to assist students with / without disabilities in their academic pursuits in an effective and reasonable way. The strategies herein have been collected over the past 1 year primarily from special educators, and by teachers in schools for the deaf and blind. This collection of strategies are not based on rigorous statistical experiments but rather on the craft of teachers knowledge about “what works” with students who are different even when the same disabilities. What works well for one student may or may not work for another, even though they have the same disability. Some general types of disabilities are presented across different teaching methods. Please recognize that most of the strategies are “working” with disabled students with their native language.
