What is activity-based intervention? Give an example of how this might be used in early childhood special education curriculum implementation.

What will be an ideal response?


Activity-based intervention is a framework for incorporating several instructional strategies into a child's daily activities to address the goals and outcomes addressed in a child's IEP or IFSP. These can occur in the home, classroom, or in other settings as appropriate. Student examples will vary, but an example of an activity-based intervention might be to help a child learn to "reach for" or "go pick up" toys they desire. If a child is sitting on the floor, a toy could be placed on the floor close by to allow the child to reach for or go pick up the toy.
