Cross-disciplinary teams who are vested in MTSS Implementation often struggle with making complex decisions based upon the data collected within Tiers 1, 2 and/or 3, as it relates to determining Responsiveness to Intervention (RTI) and whether to proceed with the SLD eligibility process. This session will review regulations, research and best practices in SLD identification, to include a case study illustration, frequently asked questions regardless of the approach a given school uses (RTI or Ability-Achievement Discrepancy) and ER sample language.
Participants will be able to:
- Identify practices and processes that align with legal mandates and regulation regardless of the approach a given LEA is using
- Define Best Practices and Research in SLD Identification
- Compare case study illustration and ER language to current practices through review and discussion
Target Audience
Cross-Disciplinary MTSS Core Teams, Tiered Providers, Reading Specialists, School Psychologists, Special Education Teachers, General and Special Education Administrators
