Context Is Key: Using the Contextual Variable Analysis and Planning Tool to Improve Student Outcomes
Summary
Contextual assessment is critical for designing relevant and individualized interventions. There are many tools that help assessors identify next steps to take, however there are few tools that account for enough of the variables needed to adequately address a concern. Further, once that tool is completed, it is incumbent upon the assessor to make recommendations with limited guidance from the original assessment. In this talk, the speakers will introduce the Contextual Variable Analysis Planning Tool (CVAPT) and a modified school version of the tool. The goal of this tool is to allow an assessor to critically evaluate which variables need to be adjusted within a treatment environment and make targeted, individualized changes through a planning element embedded within the CVAPT.
