"3. What other areas should a curriculum for mental retardation include?"

I think curriculum for special needs students is based on the child's IEP!

Info about IEPs

I don't know if that helps you any!

Yeah, it is-but it is more of a question of my opinion, I think it should have been phrased "What areas do you think the cirriculum cover that is not currently being covered" or something like that.

Oh! Does it give you the age of the student because that is important in picking the curriculum. You have to know the child's mental age to determine what curricula is appropriate. Right?

Nah, that would be too easy. It is a very broad answer, and the teacher is looking for something specific (which I have not determined yet). So far, I have something beginning with "I think that the primary focus should continue to be preparation of the student for life in general. "

Good start! 🙂 I don't have much advice in this. I'm not a special ed major, and I've only had one special ed class. More than likely you will end up having to go into more detail about what skills you feel are important for them to learn.

Wish I could be more help!
