SPECIAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM

Supporting students with learning differences

Research-based special education curriculum programs

HMH recognizes that students learn at varying rates and too often feel discouraged if they struggle to succeed. Our research-based special education curriculum programs with customized learning paths enable teachers to guide their students to meet Individualized Education Program (IEP) benchmarks, regardless of their natural learning pace.

Designed to meet diverse learning needs

An inclusive design supports students with IEPs through structured, multisensory instruction and flexible pacing.

Get inspired by “Breathing”

Listen to a poem by Patricia Starek, Senior Product Manager at HMH, and take a minute to recognize how educators’ actions in the classroom matter to students with learning disabilities.

When I got into Read 180, it was like I had a whole new way of learning. My Lexile® scores went higher and higher. Read 180 changed my life!
