With the data obtained in an assessment, the TEAM can determine the form and degree of interventions. If the problems in learning are due to the curriculum or some factor external of the child then remedies to the system are in order. When the problems in learning are due to a disability then special education may be required. Furthermore, regardless of the origin, the process should begin and end with the child in the classroom. In the regular classroom regular methodologies are used.
Teachers can deal with the normal variation as it occurs in the population.
When a child demonstrates an inability to perform, to sequence, or to remember then that child may have problems with learning. Learning problems require interventions beyond normal educational techniques. These special techniques must be assessed for effectiveness. If the problem persists after these special techniques, then the TEAM may be wise to consider a referral for more comprehensive assessment or evaluation. At this point the TEAM is examining whether or not the child may have an educational disability.
