Targeting Specific Skills

Picture
When students demonstrates a need for specialized supports, its always best to use accommodations that target the specific skill or behavior.  Many IEP's and 504 Plans include generalized accommodations that are a good start and may even work at first. However, when the students progress stalls or declines the next step is to do more research. 
Starting Points for Research
  • What Works: The What Works Clearinghouse is the best place to start for both parents and professionals. It provides uses with the tools to make evidence-based decisions on what applications, strategies, or methods work best. 
  • Books: Maybe books are little old fashioned, but scholars all over the world publish texts on vast array of topics.  From RTI for the Gifted Students to Bright Not Broken: Gifted Kids, ADHD, and Autism, books offer specific practices that target the needs of our diverse learners with exceptional abilities. 
  • Professional Consultation: Reaching out to experts in the field bridges the gap between research and practice. Most scholars can be reached by phone or email and many are very open to sharing their expertise. Start with local colleges, universities, and national organizations. My favorites are National Association for Gifted Children and Council for Exceptional Children.
