Evidence-based practices are one of the backbones to providing intervention. When we provide intervention services, we are doing so using methods that have been tested, retested and evaluated as methods that show significant results regrarding the promotion of a child's learning and development.

This reflection paper was in response to the method of precision teaching implemented at Fit Learning. It discusses the research of precision teaching and how I observed it at Fit Learning using the example of a student whom I observed being coached virtually.
The reflection on responsive teaching strategies was written based on my practical experiences working in the parent-toddler therapy group at the Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center. Using the Maternal Behavior Ratings Scale (MBRS) I was rated by my partner, a peer who was also in the therapy group, using video recordings of ourselves.
The second artifact listed here is the MBRS which was filled out by my partner. I also filled out the same rating scale for my partner using the video recordings.
This paper was an assignment in my Methods of Assessment course. For it, we chose a a domain which may be assessed using the NIH toolbox as well as an assessment that may be used for testing that domain. In this paper, I discussed executive functioning and it's importance in the cognitive domain. I also wrote a brief review of the literature on the Flanker Inhibitory Control and Attention Test which can be used to assess executive functioning, discussing its validity
