The core task of this step is to deeply analyze the learning characteristics and individual differences of children with special needs and set individualized teaching goals. Individual differences among children with special needs are far greater than among typical children; "one-size-fits-all" teaching methods are often ineffective for them. Teaching goal setting must be based on assessment, fully considering children's current levels and zones of proximal development.

• Use ecological assessment and functional assessment methods to comprehensively analyze children with special needs in terms of cognitive characteristics, learning styles, strength areas, difficulty areas, sensory-perceptual characteristics, attention characteristics, emotional and behavioral characteristics, etc.
• Based on assessment results, set individualized teaching goals according to the Zone of Proximal Development theory, distinguishing long-term goals, short-term goals, and specific teaching goals, ensuring goals are challenging yet achievable
• Conduct task analysis on teaching goals, decomposing complex goals into a series of small, continuous sub-skills, determining teaching sequence and progressive relationships, providing a clear path for teaching design

The core task of this step is to select teaching strategies suitable for children with special needs and conduct systematic teaching design. Special education has its specialized teaching methods and strategies, such as Applied Behavior Analysis, direct instruction, precision teaching, scaffolded instruction, peer-mediated instruction, etc. Method selection should be based on children's disability type, learning characteristics, and teaching goals.

• According to teaching goals and children's characteristics, select appropriate teaching methods and strategies, such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), direct instruction, precision teaching, scaffolded instruction, cognitive strategy instruction, naturalistic teaching, etc.
• Design detailed teaching activity plans, including teaching content presentation methods, teaching steps, teaching materials, prompting methods, reinforcement strategies, error correction procedures, etc., ensuring systematic and standardized teaching
• Design differentiated and individualized teaching adjustment plans, including content adjustment, difficulty adjustment, presentation method adjustment, time adjustment, evaluation method adjustment, etc., to meet the special needs of different children

The core task of this step is to develop and prepare teaching materials and assistive technology suitable for children with special needs. Appropriate teaching materials and assistive technology can compensate for functional deficits of children with special needs and support their learning and participation. The Universal Design for Learning (UDL) philosophy emphasizes considering diverse needs from the beginning of design to provide support for all learners.

• Design and adapt teaching materials according to the three principles of Universal Design for Learning (multiple representation, multiple action and expression, multiple engagement), ensuring accessibility and adaptability of materials
• Develop adapted teaching materials for children with different disability types, such as braille/large print materials for children with visual impairments, sign language/subtitle materials for children with hearing impairments, concrete/structured materials for children with intellectual disabilities, etc.
• Select and apply appropriate assistive technology, including low-tech assistive devices (visual prompts, picture schedules, communication boards) and high-tech assistive devices (speech synthesis, special software, AAC systems)

The core task of this step is to implement individualized teaching and dynamically adjust teaching strategies according to children's responses. Teaching implementation is the process of testing the effectiveness of teaching design. Learning progress of children with special needs is often uneven, requiring teachers to have high sensitivity and flexibility to timely adjust teaching rhythm and methods.

• Implement teaching according to the teaching design plan, closely observe children's responses during teaching, and use data collection systems to record children's learning performance and progress
• Apply formative assessment and progress monitoring techniques, regularly assess children's learning progress weekly, and use data to drive instructional decisions
• Dynamically adjust teaching strategies based on children's learning progress; if data for 3-5 consecutive sessions show no progress, timely analyze reasons and adjust teaching content, methods, or difficulty to ensure teaching effectiveness

The core task of this step is to comprehensively evaluate teaching effects and conduct in-depth teaching reflection and professional summary. Teaching evaluation in special education should not only look at goal achievement but also at children's learning efficiency, participation, generalization degree, and improvement in quality of life. Reflection is the core pathway for special education teachers' professional growth.

• Use multiple evaluation methods (standardized tests, curriculum-based assessment, portfolio assessment, authentic assessment, social validity assessment) to comprehensively evaluate teaching effects, examining goal achievement, skill generalization, maintenance effects, and social significance
• Conduct teaching reflection from multiple dimensions: teaching goals, teaching content, teaching methods, teaching materials, teaching rhythm, teacher-child interaction, etc., summarizing successful experiences and shortcomings
• Based on reflection results, propose improvement plans, forming a teaching research cycle of "design-implementation-evaluation-reflection-improvement" to continuously improve special education teaching quality
