1. Check in Check out Graphing with the Excel Program Michael Kraus

2. Behavioral Interventions are successful ONLY if…  Implemented with Integrity/Fidelity  Monitored!!!  Implemented with Consistency  As important as teaching academic skills  NOT a quick fix!  Data are reviewed & graphed!!!

3.
