 The purpose of Response to Intervention (RTI) is to catch struggling children early, provide appropriate instruction, and prevent the need to refer the child for special education.
Progress monitoring is an essential component of RTI, to measure the responsiveness to instruction, and adjust the required intensity of instruction and intervention.
In this issue of the Special Ed Advocate you will find important issues parents need to be aware of regarding Response to Intervention (RTI), how the RTI process works, identification and progress monitoring of struggling students.
Please don't hesitate to forward this issue to other friends, families, or colleagues.

If your daughter is 4 grade levels behind in reading, the school should have implemented RTI years ago. Your daughter should go into RTI immediately - at the same time you submit your written request for the school to evaluate your child for special education eligibility.
Parent Attorney Jeff Martin explains how to get over The RTI Hurdle.
