In this episode, Stephanie breaks down the core of Specially Designed Instruction (SDI)—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it matters. Hint: accommodations like extra time or special seating don’t count as SDI.

She walks through the three essential elements of SDI: the what (content), the how (methodology), and the who/where/when (delivery). Stephanie also clears up the difference between SDI and differentiation, sharing simple, relatable examples that bring it all to life.

Whether you're in special education or supporting students with IEPs in the gen ed classroom, this episode gives you a clear understanding of how SDI works and how to implement it with intention.
