The release of the new NETP (national education technology plan) and the explicit push for STEM based education. I think is a great idea, however typically you wouldn’t associate learning disabilities with STEM based education and employment. However over the last four years team [url=http://megahurts2219.com]Megahurts[/url] has implemented a FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technoloy - [url]http://usfirst.org[/url] ) based approach. Which has been super successful for out students with complex learning disabilities, placing them in TOP STEM programs in the country.
I was wondering if anyone else has looked at or evaluated this approach. I would really like to get some feedback because as far as I am aware Brehm Preparatory School is the only school who’s population is composed of students with complex learning disabilities that competes. I think it would do good to get this out and make people aware.
Feed back would be appreciated!

I am quite familiar with FIRST and I completely agree with you. We need to see more schools adopt it for students with LD issues. Of course it depends on the instruction, and I am not aware of any instructional materials which support education students with LDs. It would be great to see that information made public so that others may benifit!
