The Teacher Curriculum Center (TCC) has a variety of resources which can be useful in the field of special education. The following will assist you to identify and locate the most appropriate materials for your needs. Both print and media resources are available and indexed in the Library catalog by author, title, and subject. Be aware that many materials that were not specifically intended for use in special education settings may easily meet your needs. To determine the usefulness of these materials, first identify the subject content or skill of interest and evaluate the items for appropriateness in terms of such things as competency levels and instructional approach. Early or lower grade level materials often provide the strategies and content that would be suitable and usable for special education environments.
