“RTI Room”Your entire school

4. RTI looks the same in every school/district

4. RTI is uniquely designed for each building

5. Using RTI puts you at severe risk of child find litigation

5. RTI provides a proactive and legally robust way to identify students as SLD

www.oregonrti.org

RTI for SLD is legally, procedurally, and ethically the right thing to do• IDEA 2004: All states MUST permit the use of

RTI• Primary features of RTI required for ALL SLD

evaluations regardless of method• Federal Register and OARS explicit that

cognitive evaluation is NOT REQUIRED• Few challenges to RTI have reached the courts

and the majority of decisions have been deferential to districts

www.oregonrti.org

Myth: RTI will lead to legal trouble, especially with Child Find

LORE: The response to intervention (RTI) approach for identifying students with specific learning disabilities will generate a spate of losing litigation concerning child find under the IDEA.

(Betesh, Brown, Thompson, & Zirkel, 2012)

www.oregonrti.org

Despite “dire predictions” few child find issues with RTI itself

LAW: …thus far no published court decision has specifically concerned RTI and child find, and the few pertinent hearing officer decisions have been deferential to school districts (e.g., Cobb County School District, 2012; Joshua Independent School District, 2010).

(Betesh, Brown, Thompson, & Zirkel, 2012)

Impact on SPED: Research Support

“Use of RTI has resulted in lower rates of SLD (Burns, Appleton, & Stehouwer, 2005) improved proportionality or indicators of equity, earlier delivery of special education services, and increased student achievement (Marston, Muyskens, Lau, & Canter, 2003)”
