Millions of school age children experience difficulties with learning. Their struggles in school may be due to factors such as inadequate instruction, cultural or language differences or, in some cases, a disability such as a learning disability.
In recent years, Congress has added new provisions to our nation's federal education laws - the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 2004) and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) - that are designed to encourage school districts to provide additional support for struggling students within general education. This support should be provided as early as possible - when students show the earliest signs of difficulty.
This Parent Advocacy Brief provides an overview of an improved, research-based process known as Response-to-Intervention (RTI). Learn how this process may be used to support your child's learning needs. The publication also offers questions that you can ask your child's teacher and school.
