Despite knowing students with significant cognitive disabilities (SwSCD) can make academic gains in inclusive settings, they remain underrepresented in general education settings. One of the leading questions is how to best provide core content instruction to SwSCD in general education settings. This presentation will use a learn-see-do approach on how to implement embedded trials of systematic instruction to teach core content to SwSCD in inclusive settings.
