Needs Identification
Provide a brief explanation of how the need for the session content was identified. Describe the method you used for assessing the needs of out-of-school time providers. The method may include research, focus groups, surveys, reports, observations, staff report, print media, work samples, etc.
Example:
Recent studies have suggested an increase in the prevalence of autism (Gottleib, 2005; Newschaffer, Falb & Gurney, 2005). The US Census data indicates that mental disabilities are the most prevalent among children 5-15 years old. Data from the US Department of Education National Center for Education Statistics shows an increase of 77,000 in the number of students with autism from 2002 -2005. Reports from local KIT affiliate programs show 185 children with autism spectrum disorders were included at their sites in 2004-2005. Children with autism have specific needs in an inclusive program (Brownell & Walther-Thomas, 2001; Douglas & Taylor, 2004; Kasa-Hendrickson, 2005, & Muller et al., 2003). Out-of-school time providers need information on how to meet the specific needs of children with autism in inclusive programs.
