Only 1 strategy is required to be used in the Case study .e.g Case study 1 Direct Instruction for CALD and ATSI etc;6. Select your Year of Study – this is your choice. When you identify the year of study you can also have 4 different Years of study for all the case studies. Example 1 – Case Study 1 – Year 2 for ATSI & Year 6 for ADHD; Example 2 – Case Study 4 – Year 3 for CALD and Year 5 for ASD
