ECSE 340 Week 3

This week we learned about intervention plans and what it is like conducting a visit where we implement strategies. Our book talked about Routine Based Interventions (RBI) and how they need to be family based. The purpose of this is to help the parents understand what they can do in order to carry out the routines when the specialist is not there. In the coaching model it talks about how we should be working with the parent. They know their child the best and as we seek their advice we can also counsel them on strategies to implement what they think is best for their child.

We also learned about how to begin our lesson plans for this class. They need to be detailed in order to show that we are being intentional and show that we are thinking through the strategies we have come up with for these toddlers.

“Joint planning [within the coaching model] puts the parent in a more active role in determining what is appropriate and manageable for his or her family…”
