Intervention Intensity Flashcards
Goal of intervention
Accelerate the learning rate
Primary goal when identifying and applying intervention
Build skill fluency (engage in behavior with automaticity)
Students retain and generalize information only after they achieve ______
Fluency
Core Features of Intervention Programs
Explicit Instruction
Alignment
Standardization
Dose & Frequency
Strength
Observable features of explicit instructiom
Provide OTRs
Fade response prompts
Segment complex skills into discrete ones
Prompt feedback
Focus attention to key skills
Alignment definition
How well a program overlaps with instructional objectives/content in tier 1
Dose definition
amount of intervention within a given session (how many minutes)
Frequency
How often the intervention is administered (x a week?)
Strength
Amount of growth, given a certain amount of intervention
Strength can be reported as
Differences in unstandardized outcomes
Differences in standardized outcomes
ICE
Instruction - How we teach it
Curriculum - What we teach
Environment - Where we teach it
What aspects of the IH does Instruction include?
OTRs, frequency/nature of feedback, modality, timing, modeling (explicit instruction)
What aspects of the IH does Curriculum include?
Set size, types of problems, emphasis on skill development
What aspects of the IH does Environment include?
Reinforcement, generalization, appropriate facilities and staff
When formulating intervention, use assessment data to determine
The appropriate intervention given nature of instructional deficit
Appropriate amount of intervention given severity of instructional deficit
Intensifying Intervention - Dose & Sessions
Increase the dose and the number of sessions (distributed practice; Duhon et al., 2009 & Schutte et al., 2015)
