Response to Intervention (RTI):

RtI is a process of intervention for students with academic and/or behavior needs. This is a nationwide and state approved method of working with students, parents, and teachers to determine the best way to increase a child’s academic success.

RtI team meetings are held on the first and third Wednesdays of the month. Members of this team include, but are not limited to, the school psychologist, school counselor, assistant principal, and regular education teacher. Other possible members of the team are the principal, intervention specialist, speech and language pathologist, occupational therapy assistant, and intervention aides.

A child can be referred to the RtI team by the child’s parent, teacher, or other adult with concerns.
