- State Deafblind Technical Assistance Project Staffs’ Reported Use and
Perceived Skill of Implementing the System of Least Prompts with Students
Who Are Deafblind
Authors: Chevonne Sutter, MaryAnn Demchak
Pages: 1 - 21
Abstract: This study evaluated state deafblind project technical assistance providers (TA) reported use of systematic instruction, specifically the system of least prompts (SLP), and examined perceptions of implementation and accuracy of description of components. In a census, 151 TA providers were asked to report instructional methods used. A majority of respondents reported using systematic response prompting historically. Fewer than half reported providing TA with the goal of increasing others’ use; of this group, 78.9% rated themselves as confident that they could coach others in use of the SLP. Only one respondent accurately answered all questions about components of the SLP. TA providers reported emphasizing modifications and adaptations to the environment based on child characteristics. Instructional methods reportedly employed highlighted child-guided methods. Overall, responses suggested systematic instruction is not commonly or accurately used. We discuss implications of limited use for children with deafblindness, make suggestions to increase use, and suggest future research.

- School Reentry Plans for Students with Chronic Illness:
Authors: Kristin C Wikel, Andrew M Markelz
Pages: 22 - 44
Abstract: Students with chronic illnesses benefit from coordinated school reentry plans developed in conjunction with families, school personnel, and medical specialists. A systematic literature review was conducted to study school reentry plans that are specific to students with chronic illness. Five studies met inclusion criteria and were synthesized and analyzed based upon specific reentry characteristics as well as the overall impact transition plans had on student mental health and academics. Findings suggest that there is little standardization within reentry program research which leads to program variability. Nevertheless, findings also suggest that school reentry programs for students with chronic illness resulted in higher rates of school attendance as well as increased feelings of social connectiveness with their classmates. Further research within the area of hospital to school transition procedures for students with chronic illness is needed to establish practice guidelines within the medical and educational communities.
