The Assessment Of An Effective Intervention Strategy

Response to Intervention (RTI) is an in school service program designed to guarantee that all students are getting a high quality education. Before students are referred for special education services, it is essential that they receive effective teaching designed to meet their own learning requirements. All students in public schools are required to be included in the RTI program.

Literacy is a vital part of all later learning. Because of this, the children will engage in hands on activities that relates to what they have read and give them opportunities to make up their own versions, as well as make up their own stories. They will have a large group story time and a partner reading time. An ample variety of books will be available at all times. Signs with words and pictures will be posted around the classroom showing, daily activities, objects that are used daily, and the placement of toys and

Intervention Central is a free online resource for teachers and school districts to use for the implementation of intervention in or outside of the classroom while following the Common Core State Standards. Jim Wright, a psychologist and school administrator out of New York, created Intervention Central in hopes that the website would help offer high quality RTI in even the lowest budgeted schools. The website offers a wide variety of tools for teachers to use for academic and behavioral interventions as well as assessments and informative articles. Intervention Central also offers training videos and webinars on many different topics. The site breaks the intervention process activities down by subject and subject areas.

Brief Description: Due to the chicken and egg dilemma surrounding co-occurring disorders, for years researchers have faced the challenge of what to treat first, in other words identifying the main issue. Now after twenty years and being given the title of an evidence-based practice, researchers have come up with a holistic approach in treating co-occurring disorders. Researches coined this evidence-based practice as integrated treatment, which is basically a marriage between health and mental health services/treatment/interventions.

The most recent data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) (CDC, 2014). Children diagnosed with ASD often have difficulty with functional performance in several key areas including; social participation, communication, school based activities, motor performance and play. These impairments in functional performance are not exclusive to the child alone as the caregiver often assumes a great deal of burden in managing the symptoms of a child with ASD. Furthermore, these difficulties along with the rising diagnosis rate has pushed ASD to the forefront of clinical research and has raised issues regarding which Ayres

It was clear that Seb engaged into play creating roles and ideas while he was making the shark. In this example, educators can promote this learning by building on family and community experiences with creative and expressive art. In Seb's case, children at his age tend to utilise technology. Seb referred to the movie Finding Nemo and a good way to engage children in the classroom is to integrate technology into children’s play experiences and projects by providing a wide range of resources that will allow them to demonstrate meaning using visual arts such as electronic storybooks. This will ensure them asking open-ended questions and becoming active and engaged learners (DEEWR,

In order for a student to be diagnosed for any disability, there is a process that involves many people that are important in the child’s life. The school must conduct tests that measure the child’s academic success in the classroom, as well as tests that measure IQ (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children), work samples, developmental history (usually get this information from the parents), physical exams (vision, hearing etc.), psychological tests, adaptive skills (BASC) and other areas as needed. Testing is usually done by professionals from various disciplines. In order to qualify for special education services under IDEA, the disability must impact the child’s ability to be academically successful (IDEA, 2004).

RtI (Response to Intervention) is a seamless system of continuous, meaningful, and research-based interventions for struggling learners, anchored in high quality, culturally and linguistically responsive instruction and assessments. The purpose of RtI is to provide all students with the best opportunities to succeed in school, identify students with learning or behavioral problems, and ensure that they receive appropriate instruction and related supports. The role of the support team is to identify and analyze the problem and recommend interventions that have proven successful with other struggling students. The classroom teacher is asked to modify instruction, implementing the suggested strategies and then carefully monitor

Response to Intervention/Instruction (RTI) is a new way of helping to address some of the academic issues that middle schools across the United States are facing. RTI is a tool that several middle schools have tried out and many are still wondering about. It has become known for its sense of urgency in addressing struggling students’ needs right away. Students that need help with a subject matter no longer have to wait for assistance, get individually pulled out of class and get further and further behind, and /or have to feel alone.

The Response to Intervention (RTI) process was instituted as part of the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA) (Johnston, 2010). The law allowed states to spend some of the funds earmarked for special education on general classroom instructional practices in the hopes that these additional supports would decrease the number of students referred for special education and distinguish students with learning disabilities so that they could get the educational assistance they need in a timely fashion (Johnston, 2010). This represented a departure from the previous manner by which students with learning disabilities were identified, that being the discrepancy model (Johnston, 2010). This paper will outline the RTI process by following the

Intervention/Response: CM received a called from Corporal Williams on Prichard Police Department stating she needs to meet with consumer. CM informed Corporal Williams she will give her a call once she makes it to consumer home. CM traveled to consumer home for the purpose of monitoring and assessing needs. CM was accompanied with CM Shamaiya Williams. CM arrived at consumer home and knocked on the front door. Consumer answered door and met with CM on the front porch. CM contacted Corporal Williams and informed her she was at Consumer home. While waiting for Corporal Williams to arrive CM and consumer discussed consumer medications regimen. Consumer has been taking her morning medications. CM educated consumer on the importance of her taking

EBIs to reduce disruptive behavior and increase academic achievement can include trainings and implementation support at the school, class-wide, and individual student-level, and are often either academic or behavioral in nature. Overall, implementation of both universal (i.e. class-wide) and targeted (i.e. student-level) interventions have demonstrated positive impacts on decreasing disruptive behaviors and increasing student academic achievement (Flower, McKenna, Bunuan, Muething, & Vega, 2014; Vannest, Davis, Davis, Mason, & Burke, 2010).Ross, Romer, and Horner (2012) also found that teachers in schools implementing Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports with high fidelity

Response to Intervention (RTI) is used in every school in the United States. RTI is a system put in place to identify and provide instructional support to at-risk students, this includes but is not limited to students with a disability. (20) The purpose of an RTI is to help identify the students before they reach a level of failure. RTI is divided into four elements: Universal screening, Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. Although students are categorized this does not limit them from the other elements. A student who is assessed as a Tier 2 would still be involved in all Tier 1 activities. The Universal screening portion of the RTI is administered at least once a year, normally schools will have a pre and post screening for every student. RTI also has a team of support for the regular teacher, support is available on every Tier from a speech pathologist, school psychologist, administration, or any additional specialist the team recommends. The purpose of the RTI team is to provide the teacher with every resource needed to help all students be successful.

In the abstract the problem is described as a need to establish whether there was desired outcome from the intervention program CARE (Creating Avenue for Relative Empowerment) which seeks to enhance outcomes for older citizens hospitalized and their kindred caregivers. A total of 407 family caregiver-patient dyad was randomized into CARE and attention categories. The CARE group was subjected to the test parameters whereas the attention group received unspecified information (Li et al., 2012). This was the method employed as per the abstract. The results yielded non-significant statistical variations on patient or family caregiver and called for an additional investigation on CARE workings and its effectiveness.

. However, the effectiveness of the treatment intervention must also be considered in the context of preexisting pharmacological therapies. Despite discontinuing use of anxiolytic medication about 6 months into psychological treatment, Mark continued to evidence treatment gains at 9 months, as well as cessation of panic attacks by the end of treatment and at 2-year follow-up. This outcome advocates that the behavioral therapy component played a key role in reducing and preventing Mark’s panic attacks. Findings propose Mark’s asthma was significantly exacerbated by his anxiety and perhaps some of his reported asthma attacks were in fact panic attacks. Regardless, Mark’s physical health, as well as his psychosocial well-being, improved substantially with the use of evidence-based cognitive behavior therapy targeting stress and anxiety. Overall, these results support the implication that physical and mental health interact and that targeting psychological concerns can in turn have an important impact on physical health (Tien, Goodie, Duncan, Szabo, & Larson, 2014).
