A Resource for Designing and Implementing Intervention Programs for
At-Risk Learners
This authoritative resource provides step-by-step procedures for
planning, selecting, and tailoring interventions for at-risk learners
with a unique focus on how to individualize interventions using actual
case examples. In addition, this volume offers guidelines for gathering
and interpreting data in a manner that assists in identifying targets
for intervention and rich discussion and information relating to
specific academic, cognitive, and behavioral manifestations of students
with learning difficulties in reading, math, writing, and oral language.
Practitioners will also recognize and learn how to intervene with
students from underserved and mis-served populations who are at risk for
learning failure including English-language learners and students from
impoverished environments.
Each chapter describes how specific difficulties interfere with
classroom tasks and explain how to select, modify, or otherwise tailor
an intervention based on that information. As with all volumes in the
Essentials of Psychological Assessment series, this volume includes
callout boxes highlighting key concepts, extensive illustrative
material, and test questions. The companion CD-ROM provides additional
worksheets, case studies, and handouts.
