  10. Partner Satisfaction • Comments: • Because of the “partner” component …, our preschool seems to have more credibility… We have had very open discussion with local Part C and Part B representatives for the first time in 6 years. • The data collection process includes genuinely useful tools that not only gather information but also provide a great basis for offering feedback to teachers and providing an intelligent, useful framework for thinking about … child development and behavior…

  11. Where We Are Going • Future Plans • Grant • Evaluate and Refine Model • Develop Complete Toolbox • Test efficacy • Publication • Describe Model • Profile • Barriers with solutions

  12. Implementation of Individualizing Inclusion Model (IndIA) Mean Typical Scores (N = 6)

  13. Implementation of Integrated Specialized Services (SDF) Group Results – All Therapists (9 sites; 1,936 sessions)

  19. Exciting News From NIPIP Networks • ID higher education and technical assistance partners have provided work sessions for the demo site and Early Head Start on functional goal writing • WY demo site has trained 4 regional programs and presented at the National Association of State Directors of Special Education (NASDSE) Policy Forum on Preschool Inclusion in Washington, DC

  20. Comments From NIPIP Teachers • “After an RBI in which parental concerns and priorities were identified, the parents went home and started working on the goals immediately. Before the actual IEP meeting was held we had to adjust and add onto the goals, because the child had already mastered goals before we could begin any ‘professional’ interventions.”

  21. Comments From NIPIP Teachers • “The parent walked into the IEP meeting, sat down, and said she had a couple more goals she wanted to add to the list. She went home after the RBI with staff and ‘interviewed’ her family. They determined that as a family they also wanted to work on these additional goals with the boy.”
