Evaluating Special Needs Interventions

Evaluating Special Needs Interventions

 (See due date in the schedule file in Modules or Course Calendar) In this assignment you will identify 3 effective practices or interventions that have been proven in the professional literature to be effective with children with special needs and 3 ineffective practices used with this population. You can use the effective practices in Assignment 1, but your analysis of the professional literature needs to be thorough. You will also find 3 interventions or practices that have proven to be ineffective with this same population. Your analysis of both effective and ineffective practices needs to reflect the professional literature, not your opinion.

These interventions may be academic or social and do not have to use only classroom examples, but can be from community and home settings as well.  The ineffective strategies may be ineffective because of poor implementation or the theoretical foundation is flawed.   You can use practices that you have seen used with children with special needs in any setting – not just the classroom, but you should provide some professional references and clear statements about why these interventions or practices are ineffective or inappropriate – not your opinion. So, you should have a final paper of no more than 5 pages (not counting reference pages) and containing 3 effective and 3 ineffective interventions or practices. These interventions do not need to be listed in any order – such as best to worst or good to the best.

Evaluating Special Needs Interventions

You will be able to use the content articles you selected for use in effective practices and practices in Assignment 1, but you will have to add to that the ineffective practices or interventions in order to write a group paper that examines the 3 most effective interventions and 3 ineffective classroom practices that are used with children with special needs. You should also explain why you selected the three most ineffective strategies. This need not be a lengthy discussion but you must provide a coherent explanation as to why you consider them ineffective.  You must receive a score of at least 80% in order to pass the class, If you receive a score of less than 80%, you will have to work with the instructor in order to complete a remedial program for this assignment.

Again, this paper should be focused around the professional literature- not your opinion.

You should also use interventions that have been used within the lasts 10 years. No need to discuss trepanning (You’ll have to look that up.)  Have some fun with this assignment.
