Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the Osborn-Parnes Creative Problem-Solving (CPS) process. It describes the characteristics of problem-solvers, the concepts embedded in the process, and its generic steps that can be applied to any challenge. Then it provides variations and examples of how the CPS process has been adapted specifically to address curricular challenges in inclusive classrooms for students with disabilities.
