The March 2013 NSTA Reports newsletter mentions a great resource for special education and science teachers, as well as parents of students with disabilities. The group is called "Science Education for Students With Disabilities" (www.sesd.info), and they are "comprised of professionals who are continually working to provide support for quality inclusive science practices" (p. 3).
The National Science Teachers Association, NSTA (www.nsta.org), will also be offering a new website on science and disabilities in late 2013, which will include information on disabilities, techniques and strategies for creating differentiated lessons and assessments, and other teacher resources.
