what are the instructional materials for educable mentally retarded?
361376
First of all, "educable mentally retarded" hasn't been used in decades.  \n\nSecondly, if the student has mild mental retardation, academic work is through the regular ed curriculum at the student's developmental grade level, rather than chronological. Any lacking life skills are addressed through task analysis of missing/reduced skills, with step-by-step instruction.\n\nTry these sites:\n\nhttp://www.thearc.org/\nhttp://ericec.org/faq/mr-lifsk.html\nhttp://www.sunnysideud.k12.az.us/programs/special_ed/mental.asp\nhttp://www.tomwilson.com/david/InclusiveCurricula/PSHE.htm\nhttp://www.ctserc.org/library/bibfiles/curriculum-mr.pdf

I'm assuming your are talking about a site for the USA.\n1.  For federal info on nationwide laws about special education regulations and guidelines you should search for ADA the Americans with Disabilities Act.\n2.  For info at the state level their should be a site for the department of education and a site under that for "special education" or "special needs children" lists of statewide APS "approved private schools" and other resources will be there along with contact info for more local info from the "intermediate units" or administrative offices at a county level.  Most school districts have a "special needs" parents groups too.\n3   NAMI, the "national alliance for the mentally ill" also has sites for mental health consumers and for family members who are living with or advocating for children or adults who struggle with mental health issues.

Generalization of skills.... taking a skill and using it for a different environment or a different academic subject.\n\nExample 1: With a mentally retarded child, we teach hand-washing at one particular sink. Then, we have to take the kiddo around to different sinks and rehearse the same procedure there, too, because the child will not generalize the skill without guidance.\n\nExample 2: I teach a child with a learning disability how to decode a long-vowel spelling pattern. The child returns to regular ed class, and when looking at his/her science textbook, reads words with that spelling pattern without help. The student has generalized the skill independently.\n\nGeneralization is extremely useful, and most of us generalize most of our skills without even thinking about it. Imagine not being able to tie your shoes because you sat down at the kitchen table, and you only know how to do it when you sit down on the couch because that's where you were taught it.
