Data-Based Individualization

Data-based individualization (DBI) is an ongoing research-based process for individualizing and intensifying interventions through the systematic use of assessment data, validated instructional platforms, and research-based adaptation strategies. DBI is a framework (not a curriculum or assessment) for making instructional decisions. DBI can be used by elementary and middle school educators with a variety of students, including those who aren’t making sufficient progress on their IEP goals or in an evidence-based intervention.
