Although there have been several advances in the development of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to support students with disabilities, many rural schools struggle to use EBPs. Rural schools may experience challenges that constrain their potential to provide support for the implementation of EBPs. Furthermore, there may be a mismatch between EBPs and the circumstances, resources, and needs of many rural schools. Directed consultation is an intervention support framework designed to adapt the use of EBPs by using local data and stakeholders’ insights to align strategies to the unique features and needs of rural schools, teachers, and students. This article considers the use of directed consultation to support the individualization and intensification of intervention for students with disabilities in rural schools. The establishment of rural research-practitioner partnerships is also discussed with the goal of developing a broad range of directed consultation content and delivery approaches.

定向咨询和专业支持：促进农村学校适应性循证实践

尽管在开发循证实践 (EBP) 以支持残疾学生方面取得了一些进展，但许多农村学校仍难以使用 EBP。农村学校可能会遇到限制其为实施 EBP 提供支持的潜力的挑战。此外，EBP 与许多农村学校的环境、资源和需求之间可能存在不匹配。定向咨询是一种干预支持框架，旨在通过使用当地数据和利益相关者的见解来调整策略以适应农村学校、教师和学生的独特特征和需求，从而调整 EBP 的使用。本文考虑使用定向咨询来支持农村学校残疾学生的个性化和强化干预。
