About the Course

About the Course

This course aims to enrich participants’ knowledge and practice of intervention planning based on the Assessment, Planning, Implementation and Evaluation (APIE) model, a framework which ensures that the interests of the child and all other stakeholders are factored into the process of intervention planning. Designed to help participants grow in their understanding of how to prepare Individual Education Plans (IEP)  for one-to-one intervention with learners of specific learning differences, it takes a problem-based approach and will introduce practical strategies and tools to answer key questions that must be addressed at each stage of the IEP planning process.

Target Audience

Participants of this course may be educators, parents and caregivers, or other professionals and specialists who support learners at Preschool, Primary and Secondary level with learning differences or are struggling in any area of learning and/or behaviour, on a one-to-one basis. 

Prerequisites:

Participants must have successfully completed at least one(1) of the following courses:

  • Certificate in Dyslexia and Literacy Teaching 
  • Certificate in Supporting SpLD Learners in Mathematics 
  • Certificate in Dyslexia and Chinese Language Support

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the course, participants will be able to:

  • Apply a problem-based approach to preparing IEPs for one-to-one intervention with SpLD learners.
  • Use a variety of data collection methods to improve information gathering about the learner’s profile and needs at the Assessment stage of the IEP planning process.
  • Set measurable goals and objectives when writing a learner’s IEP at the Planning stage.
  • Use observation and informal assessment tools, eg. checklists and questionnaires, to monitor the learner’s progress towards IEP goals at the Implementation stage.
