The Intervention Library: Finding Interventions and Resources for
Students and Teachers (IL: FIRST(R)) is an essential subscription based
tool for finding interventions that meet the individual educational and
learning needs of students and clients.
The library is a compilation of over 1000 entries that are uniquely
organized into six types, including Instructional, Environmental,
Curricular, Remediation Programs, Skill-Building Techniques, and
Compensatory Strategies and Supports. These six intervention categories
are available for 10 cognitive and 8 academic areas and filters allow
users to narrow their search by grade, delivery method, and cost
factor.
Key Features
Testimonials
Educators frequently need to tailor interventions to the unique
learning styles of their students. The Intervention Library provides
easy access to interventions and strategies to utilize with individual
or groups of students. The IL: FIRST saves practitioners countless hours
that would have been spent researching programs and techniques by
providing the information in an easy to navigate program. The IL: FIRST
is an extremely valuable tool for educators, interventionists, and
school psychologists.--Christina Hanel, Psy.D., Lead School
Psychologist, Washington Elementary School District, Phoenix, AZ
The Intervention Library is like a One-Stop shop for finding
interventions and resources to help individuals with academic and other
learning difficulties. For the first time, after having tested a person,
a clinician can easily establish goals and gather materials to meet the
specific needs identified. What a tool for clinicians, evaluators,
educators, and teachers! Wish I had this when I was teaching supervision
and diagnostics. It is a marvelous tool.... It is truly a gift and a
wonderful contribution to the field.--Donna Geffner, Ph.D., Ed.D.

The Intervention Library is a game-changer. In my public school and
private practice work, the suggestions from the Intervention Library add
research-based suggestions for the parents, school, and the student. It
is great to have one place to search for ideas, strategies, and
interventions for students who are struggling. I will be using this at
the pre-referral as well as post-assessment levels.--Jenny L. Ponzuric,
Licensed Educational Psychologist
As a psychologist in private practice, one of the most important
aspects of my work is using assessment data to inform evidence-based
interventions for clients. The IL: FIRST streamlines the process of
finding and selecting interventions based on research and saves me a
tremendous amount of time in doing so. IL: FIRST is THE link between
assessment and intervention that school psychologists and special
educators have long been awaiting.
