Summary

This timeless new book is the consummate guide to teaching and implementing best practices in intervention. It provides definitive real-life examples, vignettes, and reproducible forms that teach educators, clinicians, and researchers how to implement empirically proven and effective intervention procedures for all students who need them. Opens with a concrete visual representation of the key features of the intervention process (in Ch. 1), which helps the reader clearly and immediately understand the procedures involved in intervention best practices. Examples are provided that put all intervention components into place for primary, secondary, and tertiary levels of intervention, assisting students in understanding how the concepts in the book come together (Ch. 7). Includes reproducible forms, relative to each level and every phase of intervention, so that measures are readily available or can be adapted to specific situations. A planning guide provides an outline for intervention that can easily be adapted to any intervention, regardless of the expertise of the interventionist, target of the intervention, setting for the intervention, and the age of the recipient (Ch. 7). Real-life stories from the classroom illustrate practical applications of chapter concepts.
