15. What are four types of adaptations for instructional strategies to include students with severe and multiple disabilities? Give an example of each.

Short answers are just that. Each of these questions could become an essay of excellent proportion.

Do not give into your propensity for expounding at length. Rather, hold your answers to an expectation of depth and succinctness rather than waxing eloquent.

Upon completion, send off responses to the professor, and with my help, you can expect a fine exploration of your insights and an adequate response in return.
