What is an important question to ask during the problem analysis phase?

During the problem analysis phase, asking about what previous interventions have been tried is crucial because it provides insight into the strategies that have already been attempted and their outcomes. This helps in understanding the context of the learning difficulties being faced. Knowing past interventions allows educators and specialists to avoid duplication of ineffective strategies and to build on what may have worked, enhancing the overall approach to addressing the individual’s needs. This assessment of prior efforts informs further decision-making and helps tailor a more effective and personalized intervention plan moving forward. By identifying what has or hasn't worked, stakeholders can make more informed choices on how to proceed with new strategies.
