Other titles: Response To Intervention tackles the learning disabled explosion :
Description: Discusses research that shows that many students identified as learning disabled have simply not received effective reading instruction. Examines the implications of a shift from the IQ-achievement discrepancy model to the newer RTI ("response to intervention")-based diagnosis of learning disabilities authorized by IDEA 2004. Explains that in the RTI approach, students receive research-based reading instruction in general education classrooms and are only transferred to special education services if the special services in the regular classroom are ineffective. Attorney Karen Norlander explains the changes in the federal law and the research that prompted them. Educator Karen Kemp shares her experiences in moving the traditionally separate and independent systems of special education and general education toward the unified and effective collaborative model the law demands.
