This episode dives into High-Leverage Practice 20 (HLP 20), focusing on providing intensive instruction tailored to students' unique learning and behavioral needs. Our host, Heather, is joined by Manny, an experienced RBT, as they share insights into using data-based individualization (DBI), explicit teaching, and small-group strategies to adapt instruction and match its intensity to each student’s challenges. The discussion emphasizes systematic, differentiated methods within tiered support systems, particularly tier three interventions for severe learning difficulties. Collaboration among educators, specialists, and families is highlighted as essential for creating effective, personalized educational strategies across self-contained, therapeutic, and general education settings.
