I'm not the expert here, I never taught a pull-out special education class. I did have many inclusion students in my classroom every year. @Matthew Rogers I'll look for you to weigh in here.
I think written directions are most effective, however, if the students' special needs will prevent them from reading those directions effectively then visuals will be more effective.
What I think is most important, is to know their needs when designing your management strategies. Make sure they have clear goals and it aligns with their IEP goals.

Routines are typically very important as well.
