Reddit mentions of Differentiating Instruction for Students With Learning Disabilities: New Best Practices for General and Special Educators

I'm just starting my fourth year as a Sped teacher. The first thing you'll probably want to do is get your caseload organized, read their IEPs and use their diagnoses as a starting place for your research. Having a binder for each student to keep their accommodations, goals, parent contact, data and work samples will make your life so much easier when you have to write the IEP.

As far as IEP writing goes, each section is labeled with the general questions it needs to answer, however every school district has their own preferences of length, detail, style, and all the things it should/shouldn't include. Read the IEPs from the previous Sped teacher and you'll get a flavor for what they should look like.

I like this website as a resource for different learning disabilities and possible accommodations: ncld.org

There are lots of books about differeniated instruction on amazon, here's one.

The first year is definitely the hardest, but I've always found that other teachers and administrators enjoyed having me ask questions and were really helpful. Good luck!
