Technology Applications in School Psychology Consultation, Supervision, and Training explores the ways in which the field of school psychology is using technological innovations to support and improve graduate student training and supervision, as well as school consultation. Chapters based on current research and written by experts address the integration of telehealth tools and strategies such as telepresence robots, bug-in-the-ear devices, videoconferencing, virtual platforms, and more, including a section dedicated to navigating practical, ethical, and legal concerns. Throughout, the volume engages with relevant considerations relating to data management, professional standards, and regulatory guidelines. This is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource for all those looking to understand the place and potential of established and emerging technologies within school psychology training and practice.

Dieses Buch untersucht aktuelle Trends und Praktiken im Bereich der Vermittlung sozialer Kompetenzen für Menschen mit Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen (ASS) und konzentriert sich dabei auf die empirische Unterstützung aktueller Praktiken und darauf, für welche Bevölkerungsgruppen diese Praktiken am häufigsten evaluiert wurden (z. B. Alter, Funktionsniveau). Es werden die wichtigsten Praktiken beschrieben, die als Lehrstrategien für soziale Fähigkeiten eingesetzt werden können, sowie die theoretischen Grundlagen der Lehrstrategien, die relevante empirische Unterstützung und ein Leitfaden für die Anwendung, der sich auf die empirischen Bewertungen stützt. Diese Leitfäden sind ein praktisches Hilfsmittel für die Umsetzung der allgemein evaluierten Lehrstrategien für soziale Kompetenzen. Darüber hinaus beschreibt das Buch die Grenzen des Lehrens sozialer Kompetenzen und gibt Empfehlungen für künftige Forschungs- und Interventionsstrategien, die die derzeitigen Grenzen überwinden könnten. Zu den wichtigsten Themen gehören: Videomodellierung und Training sozialer Fertigkeiten für Menschen mit ASD. Training von Verhaltensfähigkeiten bei ASD. Peer-vermittelter Unterricht für Menschen mit Autismus. Soziale Narrative von Menschen mit ASD. Social Skills Teaching for Individuals with Autism ist ein unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel für Forscher, Professoren und Studenten sowie für Kliniker, Therapeuten und andere Fachleute aus den Bereichen klinische Kinder- und Schulpsychologie, Verhaltenstherapie/Rehabilitation, Sozialarbeit, öffentliches Gesundheitswesen und allen damit zusammenhängenden Disziplinen.

This book examines current trends and practices in social skills instruction for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), focusing on empirical support of current practices and for which populations such practices have been most frequently evaluated (e.g., ages, levels of functioning). It details key practices that may be implemented as social skills teaching strategies as well as the theoretical underpinnings of the teaching strategies, relevant empirical support, and a guide to utilization supported by the empirical evaluations. These guides to utilization are a practical tool for implementation of commonly evaluated social skills teaching strategies. In addition, the book describes limitations of social skills teaching and offers recommendations for future research and intervention strategies that may overcome its current limitations. Key topics featured include: Video modeling and social skills training for individuals with ASD. Behavioral skills training for ASD. Peer-mediated teaching of persons with autism. Social narratives of individuals with ASD. Social Skills Teaching for Individuals with Autism is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians, therapists, and other professionals in clinical child and school psychology, behavioral therapy/rehabilitation, social work, public health, and all interrelated disciplines.

Tasked chiefly with providing effective instruction, classroom teachers must also manage student behavior. Prevalence of student problem behavior is a strong indicator of failing schools, and has been linked to reduced academic achievement, truancy, bullying, and loss of teacher time. As such demand is on the rise for intervention programs that may effectively reduce levels of problem behavior in schools. Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools is a comprehensive collection of evidence-based strategies for addressing student behavior in the classroom and other school settings. Experts in the fields of special education and school psychology provide practical guidance on over twenty behavior interventions that can be used to promote appropriate student behavior. Framed within a multi-tiered system of support, a framework representing one of the predominant service delivery models in schools, interventions are categorized as Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III, and chapters provide insight into how students might be placed in and moved through respective levels of service intensity. Each chapter details a specific intervention strategy, and includes reproducible materials to facilitate use of the intervention, case studies, and further reading for school-based practitioners. Introductory chapters on behavior analysis, multi-tiered systems of support, and law and ethics place the practical guides in a context that is relevant for school-based practice. Walking readers through the entire process of assessment of problem behaviors to intervention and progress monitoring, Handbook of Behavioral Interventions in Schools is an invaluable resource for special education teachers, school psychologists, and trainees in these fields.
