Evidence-based instructional practices are mandated by both NCLB and IDEIA. This course will examine the research related to evidence-based practices and provide participants with the core strategies recognized by research today. Such strategies will include: social narratives, using work systems, visual supports, incorporating technology, and communication systems. Participants will learn how to analyze student needs through case studies; design and implement an effective educational program matched to student needs to promote communication, on-going learning, and adaptive behavioral skills; structure the physical environment to support learning; provide links between special interests and curriculum; and adapt core content related to Kentucky’s Program of Studies.
