Evidence-Based Interventions for Students with Learning and Behavioral Challenges

This book assembles into one volume summaries of school-based intervention research that relates to those who deal on a regular basis with the growing body of students having high-incidence learning disabilities and/or behavior disorders: special educators, school psychologists, and clinical child psychologists. Chapter authors begin with an overview of their topic followed by a brief section on historical perspectives before moving on to the main section - a critical discussion of empirically-based intervention procedures. In those instances where evidence-based prescriptions can legitimately be made, authors discuss best practices and the conditions (e.g., classroom environment, teacher expertise) under which these practices are most effective. A final section deals with policy issues.Morris, Richard J. is the author of 'Evidence-Based Interventions for Students with Learning and Behavioral Challenges' with ISBN 9780415964548 and ISBN 0415964547.
