Target Audience:  Teachers and Administrators interested in education regarding students with disability, especially those serving small towns and communities.

Short Session Description: How to use cross discipline research to design transfer skills success through a homework model specific to community cultures and needs.

Full Session Description:  This presentation is useful for teachers and administrators in community schools that need new approaches to homework success for students with special needs.  Rather than the usual isolated practice assignments, students need opportunities for application of learned skills in real community situations to learn skills in "sets" for different needs.  These opportunities become "homework" in their transfer of learning to living in their own communities that present unique opportunities to create skill sets for future use as adults.  This model can enhance global education regarding specialized learning transfer of skills for students with disabilities within their own communities as homework opportunities in practice and problem solving.
