Q
  • Observe the student for a few seconds at designated intervals and notice whether the behavior occurs for the whole interval that you are looking for it (mark “yes” or “no” as to whether this behavior occurred for the whole time that you were watching).

Q

Universal Screenings (Liabilities)

A
  • Chance to misclassify a student

* Better to err on the side of caution and give support (least dangerous assumption)

16
Q
  • Data gathered to determine if specific intervention is effective
  • Collected frequently/daily
A

Subskill Mastery Measurement (SMM)

17
Q
  • Data gathered to determine progress being made for long-term goals
  • Collected less frequently; weekly
A

General Outcome Measurement (GOM)

18
Q

Based on systematic and repeated measurement of behavior over specified time

A

Progress Monitoring (RTI)

19
Q
  • Effectiveness: need to see change in behavior
  • Confounding Variable: effectiveness of the intervention is what is actually measured
  • Measurement Error: human error; fidelity
A

Variability and Sources of Error (RTI)

20
Q
  • Average performance within a condition

* Condition: performance changes following a change; compared to peers or benchmark

A

Analysis of level (RTI)

21
Q
  • Pattern of change in behavior across time
  • Multiple measures required
  • Visual analysis used to estimate general pattern of change across time
A

Analysis of Trend (RTI)

22
Q

Current level, trend, and variability of behavior (prior to intervention)

A

Baseline (RTI)

23
Q
  • No new highs/lows (spikes) for 3 consecutive data points (during baseline)
  • 80% of points should fall within 15% of the mean line
  • Minimum of 3-4 points for baseline data
A

Evaluation Points (RTI)

24
Q

Reason to use RTI data (RTI)

A

Student whose teacher’s use data-based decisions learn more than students whose teachers do not rely on such data

25
Q

Should the intervention be changed? (RTI decision rule)

A
  • 2-3 points fall below the aim line

* Slope of trend line is less than the slope of the aim line

26
Q

Are there no correct responses for 3 or more days in a row? (RTI decision rule)

A

If no correct responses for 3-4 sessions, change the intervention

27
Q

Are the data highly variable? (RTI decision rule)

A

Consider extraneous variables when the data is too variable

28
Q

Is the % correct responding less than 85%? (RTI decision rule)

A

To correct, include modifications to instructions

29
Q

Is the student’s performance accurate but slow? (RTI decision rule)

A

If growth is slow, focus efforts on increasing rate of correct responses (repeated practice; motivation)

30
Q
  • Comprehensive and individualize strategy to identify the purpose or function of a student’s problem behavior
  • Used to develop a plan to modify factors that maintain the problem behavior and teach appropriate replacement behaviors
A

Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)

31
Q

FBA - Steps

A
  1. Operationally define the behavior
  2. Perform the assessment
  3. Evaluate the assessment
  4. Develop a hypothesis
  5. Formulate an intervention plan
  6. Start or implement the intervention plan
  7. Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan
32
Q
  • Significantly below average intelligence (IQ of 70 or below)
  • Origins of disability must be prior to the age of 18
  • Must demonstrate deficits in adaptive functioning in at least two areas
A

Assessment of Intellectual Disabilities (ID)

33
Q

When assessing reading, writing, and speaking abilities, consider:
•Developmental history and languages spoken
•Language dominance
•Language preference

A

Evaluating Language Competency

34
Q

Language difference vs. language disorder

A
  • Present in both native and new language
  • Testing done in native language
  • Use formal and informal measures
  • Compared to members of same cultural language group
  • Language usage and error patterns described
35
Q

best practice when giving Standardized Tests to Second-Language Learners

A

Use of standardized tests with direct language translation (use of an interpreter) is not best practice and is psychometrically very weak if the test is not normed in the cultural group assessed
