Bonus Session #2. MTSS Case Study: Joshua [1 hour, 23 minutes]
Contents and Brief Description
This Case Study will demonstrate how the data-based problem-solving process is applied from Background Information to Hypothesis Generation and Assessment, to the Linking of the Problem Analysis to Intervention Identification and Evaluation.
Joshua is a sixth grader who lived in another community 50 miles away and attended school there until the end of third grade. He entered his current school at the beginning of fourth grade and has been in this school since. He entered fourth grade approximately one year behind in reading and a half a year behind in math. He is now experiencing both academic and behavioral problems in the classroom, and his teachers are concerned enough that they are presenting him to the Building-level MTSS team.
Joshua is a very emotional boy. He has lived in a foster home with many other children over the past four years. His mother is in prison, and he has never known his father. His foster parents seem continually overwhelmed. They have never attended a parent conference in the four years Joshua has been in school, but they are open to home visits. They have virtually no information on Joshua’s social and developmental history, and they largely attend to Joshua only when he presents a problem at home.
