Description:
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.
