The Pre-Referral Intervention Manual was developed in response to requests for intervention strategies for the most common learning and behavior problems encountered by regular educators in their classrooms. The intervention strategies listed for the learning and behavior problems identified in the Pre-Referral Inter-vention Manual are those that special education and regular education personnel have found most effective with students in need of more success in regular education classrooms. A wide variety of interventions are provided for each learning and behavior problem contained in the manual. The variety of interventions allows the educators involved in pre-referral to choose the interventions most likely to contribute to each individual student's success. A primary expectation is that much more consistency of behavioral and instructional intervention will be attained when the Pre-Referral Intervention Manual is used by those educators working with the student to find a common set of interventions to be used across classrooms and educational environments in which the student performs. This consistency of interventions on the part of all teachers working with the student is likely to enhance student success markedly.
