Some of the more common and effective interventions include:  Peer -peer tutoring, task/instruction modifications, self-monitoring, strategy instruction, and homework focused interventions (Daley & Birchwood, 2009). 

  • Task Instruction Modifications: include increased time on tasks, shortening tasks/assignments, or altering the delivery of instruction  (Pariseau et, al. 2010).  This also includes small groupings versus whole group instruction (Daley & Birchwood, 2009).

  • Contingency management:  students receive a reward upon specific behaviors. This could mean token reinforcement or point systems based on producing things like homework on time, sitting still, attendance records, and gain scores. Students can then use the tokens/points collected for a rewards like homework passes and other prizes (Hackenberg, 2009). 

  • Strategy Instruction:  intervention that teaches process oriented control over learning.  Common strategies taught include organizing materials, note taking, and the proper use of sticky notes and highlighters (Boyle & Rivera, 2012).

  • Self-monitoring:  can take the form of checklists, contracts & organizers. Students are to establish goals and monitor their own progress  (Daley & Birchwood, 2009).   

  • Peer Tutoring: Because students benefit from small groupings, peer tutoring is often used as an academic intervention. Instead of just working together, students are instructed and/or assisted by another student one-to-one (Daley & Birchwood, 2009).

    • Legislation guarantees services inside and outside of school, whether that be homeschooling or getting in touch with hospitals for their policies on schooling.  You should actively participate in IEP meetings so you are clear on what the student needs specifically.

    • Interventions can include the school nurse and social worker for scheduled meetings and administering of medicine. It's important to collaborate with these professionals if a medical intervention is necessary during your class.

    • Frequent or extended absences can lead to social isolation. It's important to model an inclusive environment and non-judgmental attitude on these attendance records. 

    • Less common impairments can include cancer or HIV and it's important to not mistake tiredness for laziness. 

    • Modifications to the physical environment may be necessary to allow mobility
