Direct Instruction Programs
Episode description
We typically use direct instruction programs with some of our advanced learners, especially when working towards academic goals. Direct instruction programs are based on ABA principles and designed around reviewing previously mastered skills and moving in small increments to help our learners feel successful. Here, we cover some of our favorite direct instruction programs and provide tips on how to use them most effectively.
We walk through the history of direct instruction programs in American school districts and how the focus shifted towards adoption within the special needs area. We share all our go-to direct instruction programs to help learners with reading, language and comprehension, spelling, math, and writing. We also talk about targeting concepts individually and data collection.
