Dear IRIS Family,
The IRIS Center is please to announce the posting of a host of new resources to
our Web site.
A new IRIS case study unit is now available:
· Measuring Behavior: This case study unit, developed by Sara C. Bicard
and David F. Bicard of the University of Memphis, provides information on how
to collect observational data on student behavior. Methods introduced include
event, interval, duration, and latency recording.

As are five new activities:
· People-First Language: Learn the proper use of people-first language
when referring to individuals with disabilities, and better identify instances
when improper terminology is used to refer to individuals with disabilities.

associated with a learning disability or ADHD.
