 RTI provides a new and different way to identify students with specific learning disabilities. Caution! There are important issues that parents need to know.
RTI, if used incorrectly, will prevent students who have true learning disabilities from receiving the specialized instruction they need.
This issue of the Special Ed Advocate discusses RTI benefits, issues, and concerns. Learn about the RTI process and what IDEA requires, parent concerns and important questions about RTI, and what RTI means for your child.

Pam Wright explains what to do if you get Stuck in RTI Purgatory.
