A short, important article for parents to read about RTI (Response to Intervention). Too often, students are receiving RTI without a long-term plan. Sometimes parents are not even aware that their child is receiving RTI. If you have concerns about your child’s reading, ask the classroom teacher about RTI to learn more.
“Very few states have defined any criteria for moving from RTI into special education. If you want to try RTI first, get a written statement from your school describing the criteria for transitioning from RTI to special education. This should include a timeline of how long RTI will be attempted, a definition of the progress expected, and what objective and measurable standards will be used to measure that progress.”
