Special education, Autumn 2013 
Because of the wide variety of problems children face, special education is particularly susceptible to faddism. Yet, there are proven, effective strategies as well. Special educators who know and use proven methods can make enormous differences to the lives of the children they teach. In this issue of Better, we have articles from researchers who are at the forefront of creating and evaluating practical approaches for a wide variety of special needs. This includes the use of data in special education, understanding who needs more time on tests, and how to make online learning accessible.
