It is important that stakeholders are aware of practices supported as effective for students with learning and behavioural disabilities in order to provide instruction that results in improved learner outcomes. Perhaps equally important, stakeholders should also know which practices have been shown by research to be ineffective (e.g., have no, small, or inconsistent effects on learner outcomes). Special education has a long history of using practices that, though appealing in some ways, have little or no positive impact on learner outcomes. In order to bridge the gap between research and practice, educators must be aware of which practices work (and prioritize their use) and which do not (and avoid their use). In this volume, each chapter describes two practices one supported as effective by research and one shown by research to be ineffective in critical areas of education for students with learning and behavioural disabilities. Chapter authors will provide readers guidance in how to do this for each effective practices and provide concrete reasons to not do this for each ineffective practice.

Responding to the need for educational stakeholders to be equipped to plan for constantly evolving developments in policy and practice for learners with learning and behavioral disabilities, this edited collection collates contributions from authors who predict what the next big things in the field will be, and offer recommendations on how to prepare for the future they envision. The chapters cover a broad range of topics that include developments related to students' legal rights and services, how research is utilized by practitioners, using practice-based evidence to promote the use of evidence-base practices, open science, neuroscience and special education, professional development for teachers, adaptive tier-2 interventions, the field of emotional and behavioral disorders, reading and students with autism spectrum disorder, and innovations in early writing. Chronicling, too, the concerns and cautions that the authors have about what they see as the next big thing, this collection is a compelling resource for anyone looking to the future of the field, and thinking about how they can be at the front of developments in order to navigate change in a way that generates positive effects.
