Treatment Integrity: Ensuring the “I” in RtI
A critical element of the Response to Intervention process is that evidence-based interventions are implemented with high degrees of fidelity. In a new article, Joseph Kovaleski, Christina Marco-Fies, and Michael Boneshefski outline direct and indirect measures that can be used to ensure treatment integrity so that meaningful student outcomes are achieved within a multi-tier system of supports.
Treatment Fidelity Tools
Efforts to create and collect task-analyzed, step-by-step protocols to use in the assessment of treatment integrity have to date been a localized activity. Dr. Joseph Kovaleski of Indiana University in Pennsylvania has assembled a number of available treatment integrity protocols that have been developed by a variety of sources as an aid to practitioners and researchers. Select from the list of over 50 fidelity checklists for reading instruction!
