 Acellus is an ideal tool to differentiate instruction for students in Special Education programs.
“Scientific research shows that students with disabilities can make progress toward grade-level standards when they receive high-quality instruction and are assessed with alternate assessments based on modified achievement standards.” No Child Left Behind – May 10th, 2005
Acellus can be easily incorporated into IEPs for those students classified as Special Education students under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Acellus incorporates Specially Designed Instruction to meet the unique educational needs of students with disabilities and to help them develop to their maximum potential.
Schools using Acellus courses for this purpose will typically deploy Acellus in computer labs or mobile laptop labs, where each student has a dedicated computer console from which to operate the Acellus programs.
The Acellus Special Education courses have been developed to be achievable by Special Needs Students, while still incorporating the rigor of standards-based courses. This enables students to approach, and even meet, grade-level standards.
Special Education Courses available include:
- Essential Math – designed to build basic understanding of math concepts
- Pre-Algebra – basic introduction to algebraic concepts
- Algebra I – teaches basic principles, rules, and operations of working with algebraic expressions
- Reading – uses scientific methods of teaching reading by developing phonemic awareness, concept imagery, expectancies and sight words
