Question 2

What should you consider when developing an intervention plan?

Answer 2

Where child is at. Zone of proximal development (when generating goals and deciding level of supports/where to start

Goals: Set basic, intermediate, and specific goals. Those with 10-50% of required context are highest priority. 1 to 10% are high priority. Higher than 50% and not used at all are low priority.

How easy is target to teach? Do 1 new thing at a time.
