Preferred term

response to intervention  

Definition

  • Response to Intervention (RTI) refers to a student-centered assessment and intervention model that has been proposed recently as an alternative approach to the identification of specific learning disabilities (SLDs) under the 2004 reauthorization of Individuals with Disabilities in Education Improvement Act (IDEIA). The IDEIA eliminates the longstanding requirement (i.e., since 1977) that a significant discrepancy between IQ and achievement must be demonstrated to classify a child as a child with an SLD. Although states may still use the IQ-achievement discrepancy model, the U.S. Department of Education, in its proposed IDEIA regulations, is encouraging adoption of the RTI model instead.
