When you have a student with a speech disorder, supplemental activities should involve multiple students and not just the student with the disorder
You should consult a therapist about when it is appropriate to require a student with a speech disorder to speak in front of the class
Much of this chapter is devoted to how to detect speech disorders, however, many student's speech disorders are detected prior to their entry into secondary education
By the point a student enters secondary, they will most likely have corrective plans set up with a therapist. You can consult the therapist to discuss ways you can help this correction in your classroom

Like speech disorders, communication disorders are typically detected prior to secondary education and have already begun the process of attempting to correct these disorders have already begun
When trying to improve a student's communication abilities, do not leave any form unaccounted for; verbal, non-verbal, reception, syntax, semantics, etc.

Number Concepts
Basic Number concepts and writing and “summatizing” numbers are key foundations for student success
Math is needed in real life situations and can be applied across the curriculum. By looking at the pages mentioned above a teacher can identify minor conceptual errors in a student's mathematical skills to prevent larger problems from arising. Detection can be formal and informal and can be identified by any teacher no matter the course so be on the lookout for these math issues.
