“…RTI/MTSS brings consistency to school-wide curriculum, programs, and practices; it also affords SSWs key leadership opportunities to demonstrate specialized skills working with students experiencing behavioral challenges (Lawson, 2010). In practice, this means SSWs incorporate evidence-based approaches that are identified and evaluated based on data and are focused on the whole child (Lawson, 2010;Raines, 2004Raines, , 2008 …”

“…These groups were positively evaluated using questionnaires and feedback from parents, teachers and children. However, this was a smallscale community sample and the programme was only evaluated through satisfaction measures, which have significant limitations as a measure of effectiveness (Raines, 2008). The underlying evidence base for the programme was also not made explicit.…”

Children with motor difficulties are a very varied group. In order to target interventions more effectively researchers have attempted to identify specific subgroups; however, attempts to identify sub-groups and provide interventions accordingly have met with limited success. Currently interventions can be classified into two main types, namely, general abilities and normative functional approaches. The current study outlines the Manchester Motor Skills Programme (MMSP), which adopts a normative functional approach and has been developed jointly by educational psychologists (EPs), specialist teachers and schools. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the MMSP a quasi-experimental repeated measures study was undertaken involving 24 children. The quasi-experimental study yielded a medium effect size, which is a promising result for a naturalistic intervention. Methodological limitations and areas of future research are considered and identified.

“…In the clinical model, school social workers work primarily through casework methods supplemented by group methods with students and family members. In today's practice, a greater emphasis is placed on evidence-based and promising methods (Raines, 2008). Costin (1969) articulated the most comprehensive model.…”

This paper calls for the introduction of school social work in Malaysia. Many industrialized countries have introduced school social work, partly because teachers are not able to tackle students' personal and social problems. Teachers are burdened with teaching tasks and are not trained to handle social problems. The introduction of school social work in these developed countries was an admission that there was only so much teachers could do in addressing the problems of school children. Even with school counselors, the problems have not decreased. Many parents in Malaysia perceive schools to be incapable of providing sufficient education to excel in the major exams. The existence of many private tuition institutions and private teachers is a testimony to that perception. If society has already deemed these teachers to be incapable of providing quality education, to expect them to look after students' social problems is presumptuous on society's part. The need for school personnel who understand the social ills of the community is urgently needed, and it is the contention of this paper that school social workers are best equipped for that responsibility.
