Brief Experimental Analysis
Allows practitioners to quickly “test out” the effects of two or more evidence-based interventions on a target behavior
Research has shown to be effective across various academic domains E.g., Oral Reading Fluency
![Page 4: Amber Zank, M.S.E. Michael Axelrod, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire NASP Conference 2011 Training Individuals to Implement a Brief Experimental.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514b884550346b2598b6694/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
BEA of Oral Reading Fluency
Effective and efficient way to find an optimal evidence-based reading intervention that increases a student’s oral reading fluency (Burns & Wagner, 2008)
![Page 5: Amber Zank, M.S.E. Michael Axelrod, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire NASP Conference 2011 Training Individuals to Implement a Brief Experimental.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514b884550346b2598b6694/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Importance for School Psychologists
Working within an RtI framework Use of evidence-based interventions Data-based decision-making Links assessment to intervention
Problem-Solving early intervention

Training Individuals to Implement BEA of Oral Reading Fluency BEA of ORF has been widely
researched, yet… Literature has not focused on the training
of individuals implementing BEA of oral reading fluency procedures
![Page 7: Amber Zank, M.S.E. Michael Axelrod, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire NASP Conference 2011 Training Individuals to Implement a Brief Experimental.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514b884550346b2598b6694/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Relevance for School Psychology Consultative Role
Relationship between Treatment Integrity and Student Outcomes(Fuchs & Fuchs, 2006; Hagermoser-Sanetti, Charouleas, Christ, & Gritter, 2009)
![Page 8: Amber Zank, M.S.E. Michael Axelrod, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire NASP Conference 2011 Training Individuals to Implement a Brief Experimental.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514b884550346b2598b6694/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Other Research: Training Individuals Functional Analysis
(e.g., Iwata et al., 2000; Moore et al., 2002; Wallace et al., 2004) Several key training components:
Written/verbal instruction Modeling Rehearsal Performance feedback
Educators (e.g., Codding et al., 2005; Leblanc et al., 2005) Similar training components:
Modeling Rehearsal Performance Feedback

Practical Question
What type of training is needed for undergraduate volunteer students to implement a BEA of oral reading fluency to elementary students with high procedural integrity?
![Page 10: Amber Zank, M.S.E. Michael Axelrod, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire NASP Conference 2011 Training Individuals to Implement a Brief Experimental.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514b884550346b2598b6694/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Our Study
After-School Reading Intervention Program 2 schools; 2 days per week each Elementary students- additional assistance

implemented throughout the BEA
Treatment Integrity Checklists

Repeated Reading
Sit with the student in a quiet location without too many distractions.
Have two copies of the passages. Passage A with the total numbers of words is for you the interventionist. Passage B for the child should not have numbers or lines on them.
Have the student read the passage through.
If the student asks for help with any word, read the word aloud. If the student requests a word definition, give the definition.
When the student has completed the passage, have him or her read the passage again (a total of 4 times).
During the reading of the passage the 4th time, follow along and mark incorrect words on your form.
When you are done with the passage or time is up, record the number of correct words per minute at the end of the passage.

Implications
Adds to the research on training individuals
Adds to the research regarding BEA BEA may be implemented with high
treatment integrity with as little as a 1-hour initial training Verbal and Written Information, Modeling
![Page 23: Amber Zank, M.S.E. Michael Axelrod, Ph.D. University of Wisconsin- Eau Claire NASP Conference 2011 Training Individuals to Implement a Brief Experimental.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062618/5514b884550346b2598b6694/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Implications
Conducting a BEA of oral reading fluency may be effective in increasing oral reading fluency after 8-12 weeks.
Social Acceptability Positive view of the implementation and
effectiveness of using a BEA to target reading fluency

Future Research
Replicate the current findings with other populations Paraprofessionals, peer tutors, classroom
teachers, special educators
Look at data-based decision-making from BEA
Address training programs

Take Home Message
Using a brief training of individuals to conduct a BEA of oral reading fluency holds promise to school personnel looking for effective as well as easy to implement interventions for increasing elementary students’ oral ready fluency
