Leveraging Observation Research to Improve Instruction for Students With Intellectual Disability: Guidance forAdapting Tools. Esther R. Lindström | Kimberly A. McFadden. University of Illinois Chicago. Lehigh University. ABSTRACT. Background and Aims: Students with intellectual disability benefit from high-quality instruction in reading and mathematics. Methods: This Theoretical Paper outlines the need for effective, evidence-based instructional practices for this population and the potential for observation research to inform such advancements. We report our systematic process of adapting two widely used observation tools initially developed for students with learning disabilities, to address content and instructional practices relevant to classrooms serving elementary students with intellectual disability. Results: Our revised observation tools facilitated more inclusive data collection, taking into account the needs and goals of students with intellectual disability, in addition to their peers for whom the original tool was designed. Conclusions: We offer guidance for researchers and practitioners to make similar adaptations when using research tools in-tended for other populations or instructional settings.

I LOVE observation research and thinking about how to do it well. @kimberlymcfadden.bsky.social & I wrote about its importance for improving outcomes for students with IDD and some things we've learned along the way. 1/

Make a doc or spreadsheet w/all class sessions listed, and take a few mins after each class meeting to record what went well and tweaks for next time & refer back to these notes when you prep the class again.
