Hi Melinda,
Funny you ask this...
I am right now doing some research on a related topic.

I have found this book to be excellent.
Teaching Every Student in the Digital Age / Universal Design for Learning
David H. Rose and Anne Mayer

In fact a lot of the book is on line on the CAST website
Center for Applied Special Technology
cast.org

See this link
its got the text of the book
http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/ideas/tes/

And more generally
http://www.cast.org/teachingeverystudent/

it ties together a lot of good congitive science and research to practical
class room examples.
