|
Resiliency Practice provides a framework for teachers and other child service professionals to accurately identify individuals who are at risk for poor life outcomes. The ability to do early assessment in order to identify children who are most likely to require special education services allows school systems and child care agencies to consider a preventative approach to service delivery. In addition, it provides awareness to Local Education Agencies of an alternate form of assessment for Behavioral/Emotional Disorder. More importantly, resiliency practice identifies the specific protective factors that have been proven to counteract the presence of risk and promote improved life outcomes. Awareness of protective factors is essential to developing effective IEP's and behavioral plans. This presentation covers resiliency theory, how to do resiliency-based assessment using the Brief Resiliency Checklist (BRC), and how to develop plans that promote protective factors.
