This episode is mostly an audio version of my guest blog post over at Patrick Black's blog Teaching All Students (http://teachingall.blogspot.com). The post outlines a personal family experience while providing a number of ideas for gifts that could be given to students with severe disabilities. It is my hope that educators who find this useful will forward it onto families who will then share it with other family members.

Episode #30 is up for your listening pleasure! Episode #30 is the second of a two-part feature on the top three things I learned at the National At-Risk Education Network (NAREN) Conference of 2009. Be warned, this episode is unlike most of the other episodes in that the tips described are more along the lines of ''educational philosophy'' rather than ''strategy'' but I felt they were well-worth discussing.

The ''I'm finished'' box is nothing more than a place to house materials that the student is done using but the episode goes into a bit more detail about how to implement the tool.
