**What is RTI?** The 'Response to Intervention' (RTI) model has been widely adopted by schools across the nation as a proactive way to respond to students with academic or behavioral concerns. In the RTI model, a student in general education that begins to experience difficulties is given one or more evidence-based interventions. If the student fails to make expected progress despite several intervention attempts, that student can be considered to be a on-responder to intervention.

 * The Intervention Process: **

1) You or the teacher realizes that your student is performing below grade level in one or more academic or behavioral area. 2) You or the teacher recommends that there needs to be a meeting to address these issues. This is called the Intervention Assistance Team (IAT). 3) A plan of attack is formed at this meeting including: interventions, ways to measure growth, conditions, and possible accommodations that need to be made to the child’s education.

__**What if My student is recommended for Intervention? **__ Many children struggle with one area or another. Most of the time the gap between your student and expected performance can be closed with regular instruction (Tier I). For those students who may need more specific instruction the gap can be closed through intervention in the classroom (Tier II). If your student still needs some more help we go to more specific instruction either in the classroom or in a pull-out room for short time periods a few times a week (Tier III).
