Selecting Appropriate Text for Adolescents With Disabilities
Most students with disabilities are expected to enter the workforce after high school or attend postsecondary institutions to engage in further study (Cortiella & Horowitz, 2014). Working knowledge of the general curriculum from content area classes (e.g., civics, history, science, English language arts) serves students well during middle school, high school, and after high school.
