A new workbook on working memory activities written by an experienced, practising speech-language clinician, who just happens to work in schools. Use these same activities to prompt memory skills in your school-age students in both elementary and middle school. Let your students learn from a school based clinician who has spent 15 years actually doing this work. The exercises within these pages are creative, school relevant and accessible to clinicians, teachers and parent and is presented in easy to follow, non-technical language. If you have students in your care with a history of oral and written language comprehension difficulty, or who have trouble learning new vocabulary and unfamiliar concepts, then they may have problems with working memory. Working memory has a crucial role to play in school-age students' ability to learn and retain new information. Targeting working memory skills can have an effect on children's memory and receptive language skills and their ability to remember and grasp important information. This workbook features... -Highly engaging printable and photocopiable activity sheets and specific items for each activity. -Dozens of high interest questions to prompt students' memory and receptive language skills. -Entry, intermediate and advanced level questions that gradually become more difficult and challenging. -An informal pre-post test to establish a baseline and rating forms to chart your students' progress.

Evidence-Based Interventions for Students with Learning and Behavioral Challenges
This book assembles into one volume summaries of school-based intervention research that relates to those who deal on a regular basis with the growing body of students having high-incidence learning disabilities and/or behavior disorders: special educators, school psychologists, and clinical child psychologists. Chapter authors begin with an overview of their topic followed by a brief section on historical perspectives before moving on to the main section – a critical discussion of empirically based intervention procedures. In those instances where evidence-based prescriptions can legitimately be made, authors discuss best practices and the conditions (e.g., classroom environment, teacher expertise) under which these practices are most effective. A final section deals with policy issues.
