[QUOTE="PollyParent, post: 85725, member: 3822"] Interventions can begin before the designation for Special Education placement is complete. Or at least that's the case in California. IDEA 2004 talks about the RTI model (Response to Interventions), and it is my understanding that interventions can begin as soon as District personnel have a reasonable awareness that the child will qualify for Special Education designation. SO, under no circumstances allow them to convince you to pull the request for evaluation. If you go to wrightslaw.com, you can research RTI vs Discrepancy. On [URL='http://www.wrightslaw.com/info/rti.index.htm']the main page for RTI information[/URL] you'll find a number of articles about RTI and how it's implemented. This quote stands out: To ensure adequate instruction for students with Learning Disability (LD), identification must focus on assessments that are directly related to instruction. [B]Services for struggling students must focus on intervention, not eligibility. Special education needs to focus on results and outcomes, not eligibility and process.[/B] Identification models that include RTI will lead to better achievement and behavior outcomes for students with Learning Disability (LD) and those at risk for Learning Disability (LD).
