Specially Designed Instruction Collection
The Specially Designed Instruction Collection provides educators with tools, guidance, and examples to deliver individualized instruction aligned to student IEPs and ensure meaningful access to grade-level curriculum.
The Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) Collection is a targeted set of resources developed to support educators in delivering instruction that meets the unique needs of students with disabilities. SDI is a core component of a student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP) and involves adapting content, methodology, or delivery to ensure access to the general curriculum. This collection includes the comprehensive SDI Guide, field-user guides, and a series of Texas SPED Quick Learns that offer bite-sized professional learning on SDI implementation.
Educators will find practical strategies for planning, delivering, and monitoring SDI across instructional settings. The resources emphasize alignment with IEP goals, integration with high-quality instructional materials, and collaboration between general and special education staff. Whether you're new to SDI or refining your practice, this collection supports consistent, high-quality implementation that promotes student success. It is designed to be flexible and accessible, with tools that can be used during planning meetings, classroom instruction, and professional development.
