Measuring and Manipulating Intervention Intensity

This presentation from the 2023 Michigan Autism Conference aims to educate professionals on the crucial but often misunderstood concept of intervention intensity in autism education, highlighting that relying solely on time-based measures lacks precision and practicality. It will introduce methods for measuring and adjusting intervention intensity, incorporating common progress monitoring techniques, and provide practical examples and recommendations for data-based decision-making. This approach is designed to enhance the effectiveness of interventions for learners with autism through a more nuanced understanding and application of treatment intensity.
