Training Interventionists to Implement a Brief Experimental Analysis of Reading Protocol to Elementary Students : an Evaluation of Three Training Packages

Abstract

As the Response to Intervention (RtI) movement has gained momentum, research in school psychology has focused more on data-based decision-making and applying these decisions to academic interventions. One area that has gained increasing focus is brief experimental analysis (BEA) or oral reading fluency. Although literature is replete with BEA research, the literature has failed to focus on training interventionists to implement BEA of reading. The purpose of the current study was to extend previous researach on training interventionists to conduct functional analyses of the context of BEA.
