Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When selecting an intervention, SLPs and special educators should consider all three factors listed in choices A, B, and C. Evidence-based practice refers to using interventions that have been scientifically studied and shown to be effective. This ensures that the intervention has a higher probability of working for the specific student or group of students. However, evidence-based practice alone is not always sufficient as each student's unique needs may require a personalized approach. Therefore, aligning with internal evidence, which includes considering the student's strengths, weaknesses, goals, and progress, is important. Finally, the intervention must also be expected to work, based on the student's individualized needs and goals. Therefore, all three factors should be considered by SLPs and special educators when selecting an intervention.
