美國身心障礙教育服務模式與啟發：以沃斯堡兒童研究中心為例

Education Service Models for People with Disabilities in the United States: The Fort Worth Child Study Center as an Example

沃斯堡兒童研究中心（Fort Worth Child Study Center）最主要的特色為依照老師支持程度不同，採無縫接軌班級設計，以提供系統性逐漸融合之個別化教學。該中心的教育模式採應用行為分析原理進行團體及一對一的個別化教學。課程編制、學生能力評估、行為目標擬定、行為介入計畫、教育決策、老師和家長訓練與督導均由實務經驗豐富的行為分析師擔任；課程與介入計畫執行和資料收集為導師和一般老師的責任。該中心與北德州大學行為分析系有合作關係，促進實務與理論的緊密結合。

The Fort Worth Child Study Center differentiates teacher support levels in classes and provides a systematic increase in the teacher-student ratio for inclusion. The Center utilizes applied behavior analysis principles in implementing individualized instructions in one-on-one as well as group settings. Board Certified Behavior Analysts are responsible for curricula development, assessment of student competence, behavior objective and intervention protocol management, data-based decision-making, and personnel/parent training and supervision. Protocol implementation and data collection are the homeroom teacher and general education teachers’primary tasks. The Center collaborates with the Department of Behavior Analysis, University of North Texas in research and field practicums which integrate theory and practice.
