Problem: Providing support for high school special ed students in
mainstreamed math courses such as algebra, geometry, or trig.

I am looking for ways to address the above problem.  Does anybody know of
any successful programs or have ideas as to what could work?  I have seen
special ed students come to a resource room for help.  It seems all that can
be done is a band-aid approach.  They may be able to do a particular type of
problem, but really do not understand it.  Therefore, they cannot apply the
skill to more complex problems.  Also, the students seem to start the course
without prerequisite skills.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Jonathan Bennker
