How Well Does Early Reading Fit: A Local Confirmatory Factor Analysis
Caroline Racine Gilles, PhD, Author; Caroline Racine Gilles PhD, Author
Caroline Racine Gilles, PhD, Author; Caroline Racine Gilles PhD, Author
Composite measures for academic screening are gaining popularity. We independently evaluated Fastbridge's calculation of the earlyReading screening measure using kindergarten data from a large district.
Author(s):
Objectives:
- understand how multicomponent assessment scores are calculated and how that affects their interpretability;
- reflect on the new challenges of choosing between single-skill and composite screening measure; and
- brainstorm next steps for improving the precision and validity of composite screening measures.

Tia Coleman, Author; Tia Coleman, Author
Exploring the potential of differential reinforcement strategies in mitigating problem behaviors in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Learn from comprehensive research spanning diverse contexts, offering insights for personalized intervention approaches.
Author(s):
Objectives:
- assess the efficacy of differential reinforcement interventions and their potential implications for practice in school psychology and special education settings;
- analyze the effectiveness of differential reinforcement strategies in addressing specific behaviors, such as aggression, and tantrums in individuals with ASD; and
- describe the principles of differential reinforcement (DRO and DRA) and their application in reducing problem behaviors associated with ASD.
Enhancing Math Interventions With Token Economies

Author(s):
Objectives:
- assess the effectiveness of a token economy on academic engagement and target behaviors,
- design a token economy intervention to address specific target behaviors, and
- apply a token economy to enhance academic engagement and target behaviors.
The Effects of Peer Tutoring on Math Fact Fluency
Does math fact fluency improve with the implementation of a cross-age peer tutoring intervention? Learn about the effects of peer tutoring on math fact fluency.
Author(s):
Objectives:
- implement and assess cross-age tutoring programs in math,
- understand a feasible and effective Tier 2 math intervention approach, and
- understand the use of peer support in an educational environment.
Development of a Conceptual Model of Adverse Experiences at School
Development of a Conceptual Model of Adverse Experiences at School
Ashley Mayworm, Author; Ashley Mayworm, Author
Ashley Mayworm, Author; Ashley Mayworm, Author
Research on adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) often omits adverse events that occur in the school setting. Learn about the development of a conceptual model of adverse experiences in school (AES).
Author(s):
Objectives:
- describe the adverse experiences in school (AES) conceptual model,
- explain why it is important to measure AES despite the overall safety of most schools, and
- name two possible next directions for research or practice related to AES in school psychology.
All About the WJ V Reliability
This study introduces fundamental concepts of test reliability, demonstrates how to quantify test reliability using various approaches, and presents reliability coefficients for Woodcock-Johnson V tests and clusters.
Author(s):
Objectives:
- introduce fundamental concepts of test reliability to the community of school psychologists,
- demonstrate how to quantify test reliability using various approaches, and
- present reliability coefficients for the Woodcock-Johnson V tests and clusters.
Development of a New Vocabulary Screening Measure
Vocabulary measures are not included in routine early reading screening. We will present the results from a pilot study examining the technical adequacy of a newly developed vocabulary screening measure.
Author(s):
Objectives:
- gain knowledge about important features of vocabulary assessment;
- understand why vocabulary measurement is different than measurement in other areas of reading; and
- advocate for increased attention to vocabulary assessment and intervention in their school communities.

Mariana Pacheco, Author; Mariana Pacheco, Author
Discover how adapted Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) via telehealth effectively reduces challenging behaviors and improves emotional regulation in individuals with intellectual disabilities over a 6-week period.
Author(s):
Objectives:
- assess the impact of telehealth delivery on the accessibility and outcomes of DBT for intellectual disabilities,
- design strategies for implementing telehealth in their own practice with individuals with intellectual disabilities, and
- identify how adapted DBT fits into NASP’s Practice Model.

Listening to What Autistic Youth Think of Social Skills Programs
Cale Holmes, Author; Cale Holmes, Author
Cale Holmes, Author; Cale Holmes, Author
How do autistic youth see social skills training interventions? A research study finds these programs may teach both social skills and camouflaging. Discover the importance of autistic voices in research.
Author(s):
Objectives:
- apply the NASP organizational principle of climate by showing the importance of student collaboration in intervention;
- assess the effectiveness of social skills interventions and possible limitations of these programs; and
- evaluate the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions wholistically, considering both research evidence and participant experience.
