Unique Learning System

 I work with student who have moderate to severe disabilities. This past year I started using parts of Unique Learning System. The lessons are science or social studies based, but teaches all subjects.

Pros:

• Differentiated/leveled
• Provides suggested lesson plans
•  Provides progress monitoring
• Helps you relate to students life experiences
• Aligned to state standards

Cons:

• Expensive (my district purchased it)
• Requires lots of printing

They do have a free summer unit for you to try. Here is the link to the website
