Pupil Personnel Service
Response to Intervention Team
Parents sometimes are concerned that their child is not making adequate academic progress. Often, parents are not sure where to turn for guidance and seek extensive testing for their children. In most cases, testing is not warranted and only places undue stress on the child. Many learning concerns can be addressed through your child's building's Response to Intervention Team (RTI Team).
The RTI Team is comprised of professional within your child's school, and may include personnel such as: school psychologists, regular education teachers, special education teachers, speech and language therapists, building administrators, social workers, nurses, etc. The goal of the RTI Team is to identify strategies/ accommodations/ services that will help your child be successful in school. Recommendations may include interventions such as: remedial services, instructional strategies, classroom modifications, behavioral interventions, etc. The RTI Team will reconvene to review the strategies/interventions that they implemented. Parent input is highly valued and is necessary for the RTI Team process to work properly.
To have your child reviewed by the RTI Team, contact your child's teacher (elementary school) or guidance counselor (secondary school).
