A Collaborative Model of Inclusion Major Components: Routine-Based Assessment Team Goal Planning Process Integrated Therapy Embedded Intervention This model has been developed by and is used by researchers, specialists and teachers at the Frank Porter Graham Child Care Program

Routines Based Assessment Family Interview Classroom Teacher Interview

Routines-Based Assessment Interviews conducted with family and teachers target the following routines: Meals Play Self Care Bedtime/Nap Community Outdoor Time Circle Time Structured Activities Transitions

The Interview

Using the Results… To determine whether there is a need for further assessment (observation, evaluation of specific skills, environmental assessment, etc.) Priorities that emerge from Routines-Based Assessment become targeted outcomes or goal areas Sample Priorities

IEP/IFSP Development Process Family Directed Team Approach with input from parents, teachers and therapists Outcomes based on Priorities emerging from Routines Based Assessment Functional Outcomes

Writing Functional Goals Address skills and behaviors in everyday routines and activities

Functional Goals & Objectives All Goals should focus on Engagement Independence Social Competence 10

Engagement Goal Directedness, Attention, Participation 11

Independence Functioning in the environment on one’s own without support 12

Social Competence Interacting with both peers and adults in interactions that are reciprocated, rewarding and positive 13

Integrated Therapy Intervention strategies are integrated into the daily routines and activities of the child, and when the therapist interacts with the child, it is typically within the context of those daily activities and routines.

Integrated Therapy Use of this model requires: On-going collaboration between teachers and therapists Flexibility of scheduling Change in focus of the specialist Integrated services can look very different depending on the needs of the child and the discipline of the specialist.

Integrated Therapy Peer models are readily available Teachers learn intervention strategies by observation of and instruction by specialists Children’s social relationships are fostered
