Reading and Comprehension Online Programs

Harder and harder to choose. Google and you will get 226,000,000 results for one search term only. Too many options. How do you determine which one will be effective? Cost-effective? Look for research-based, evidence-based. Still problematic; these terms are used more loosely every day. So look for reliable news stories. I know, still hard. Look for awards. Still hard. Look for research data. Still really difficult to tease out good from bad and honest from dishonest and everything else that matters. But maybe putting it all together, consulting with people and agencies you trust, there will be a small list to choose from.

DTT Manual on Facebook

Discrete Trials Teaching with Children with Autism – A Self-Instructional Manual is the joint effort of Drs. Daniela Fazzio, PhD, BCBA-D and Garry L. Martin, PhD, to contribute to the continuously growing field of early intensive behavioral intervention (EIBI) for children with autism. With the growing numbers of children diagnosed and of the availability of programs and practitioners using applied behavior analysis to teach them, comes a substantial need for effective training strategies to bring interventionists and educators up to speed. Discrete Trials Teaching (DTT) is one of the main instructional strategies used in EIBI and a good DTT package will require good instructional material and qualified professionals to supervise implementation. The DTT Manual provides the instructional material and the structure for mastery of the components of this DTT package; the manual has been extensively researched with good results on accuracy of DTT implementation in the training setting and generalization with actual children with autism.
