Ideas are great and just needs to be adjusted slightly for more responsive students

This book has been invaluable to me. I have just started working in a high school with 3 students who have an ORS verification. The explanations at the start of the book and the start of each chapter were very helpful. Stuff I knew but great to have the experts stating it. The activities have been most helpful. I read this from start to finish. Thankyou.
