Purpose: This Center will identify the existing knowledge base and synthesize the research that can affect behavior change for students with intensive challenges.
Method: The project will work from a framework that recognizes three major components to effective intervention: (a) intervention-based assessment; (b) cultural and ecological responsiveness of intervention; and (c) collaboration across multiple systems of care. After discovering the knowledge base, the Center will implement those interventions found to be effective, at three to five diverse school districts.
Products: The Center also will engage in a national dissemination effort focused on delivering products that effectively bring research to practice. Included will be both video and written materials that offer local, state, and national policymakers as well as service providers and families with detailed knowledge regarding strategies to improve the educational outcomes for students with intensive social, emotional, and behavioral needs. The Center will also facilitate a national conference on effective strategies for highly challenging students as a culminating event.
