Using Brief Experimental Analysis and Increasing Intensity Design: A Demonstration Project for Response to Intervention

Title:	Using Brief Experimental Analysis and Increasing Intensity Design: A Demonstration Project for Response to Intervention
Author:	Swanson, Patricia M
Description:	The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of brief experimental analysis and single-case designs to a response to intervention (RTI) model for evaluating oral reading fluency deficits. Using a problem-solving approach, the RTI model involves identifying at-risk students, delivering interventions, and evaluating the effectiveness and the responsiveness of the interventions on student outcomes. Four students were identified as having low oral reading fluency, and the effects of their oral reading fluency scores were examined. After conducting a brief experimental analysis, an intervention package was developed for each student. Gains in oral reading fluency were monitored, as well as scores on standardized tests, classroom grades, scores on school-wide CBM benchmarking, and teacher acceptability/perceived effectiveness of the intervention package. Two of the four students’ growth rates exceeded that of their peers, and all four students passed the state reading achievement test.
