As an increasing number of students who are deaf-blind join their peers in typical classrooms, educators need guidance to create supportive environments that maximize students' potential for learning and personal growth. This timely book discusses in depth the rationale for including students who are deaf-blind in typical classrooms and explores the issues that surround such important areas as behavior, mobility, communication, and transition to adult life. In addition to offering sound advice on how to physically adapt a classroom, move from one activity to another with minimal distractions, accommodate unique behavioral and medical needs, and more, this practical text also answers important questions. Equally valuable for professionals who are including students in regular classrooms as well as for those still investigating the facts, this perceptive book gives readers an overview of the issues to consider in actively supporting the inclusion of students who are deaf-blind.

This true story of a boy who must overcome prejudice and weakness to treat a group of special needs children with the respect—and love—they deserve “will give your innards a bear hug. . . . You will read this book with a lump in your throat.” (Lincoln Journal) From Ron Jones, a teacher who started the classroom program that inspired the movie The Wave, comes a memoir about a life-changing summer. Ron expected that his time as a counselor at Camp Wiggin would be filled with sunny days spent hiking, swimming, and boating. But when he arrives on day one, his illusions are quickly shattered. He knew that the kids would be “handicapped,” but he didn’t anticipate having to care for children who can barely walk or see or retain the use of their limbs. At first, the severity of the campers’ disabilities seems too much to bear. But everything changes once Ron gets to know his group—kids who call themselves “the Acorn People” because of the acorn necklaces they wear around their necks. The campers teach him that, inside, they are the same as any average kid, and with encouragement, determination, and friendship, nothing is impossible. “A fantastic and beautiful story.”—Seattle Times “Uncomfortably moving, yet told in surprisingly unsentimental terms. . . . Succinct and tender, it will haunt the reader long after the brief passages have been read.”—Houston Chronicle "Ron Jones' true story of a group of handicapped children at summer camp is one of the most poignant, beautiful and eloquent tales to come this way in a long time."—Flint Journal
