Academic Intervention

Catalog description

Academic Intervention ( PSYC 6630 ) examines evidence-based approaches for preventing and remediating academic skills problems within a multi-tiered early intervening services framework. Students will review historical context, relevant theory, and foundational principles of instruction and intervention. Students will also learn to use screening and data-based decision-making procedures to identify classes and individuals in need of intervention, target appropriate skills, and write measurable goals. Additionally, students will learn to select evidence-based interventions, support implementation integrity, and evaluate intervention outcomes using single-case design.
