Oregon Response to Intervention
www.oregonrti.orgOregon Response to Intervention
www.oregonrti.org
RTI for SLD is legally, procedurally, and ethically the right thing to do• IDEA 2004: All states MUST permit the use of
RTI• Primary features of RTI required for ALL SLD
evaluations regardless of method• Federal Register and OARS explicit that
cognitive evaluation is NOT REQUIRED• Few challenges to RTI have reached the courts
and the majority of decisions have been deferential to districts
Oregon Response to Intervention
www.oregonrti.orgOregon Response to Intervention

Myth: RTI will lead to legal trouble, especially with Child Find
LORE: The response to intervention (RTI) approach for identifying students with specific learning disabilities will generate a spate of losing litigation concerning child find under the IDEA.
(Betesh, Brown, Thompson, & Zirkel, 2012)
Oregon Response to Intervention
www.oregonrti.orgOregon Response to Intervention
www.oregonrti.org
Despite “dire predictions” few child find issues with RTI itself
LAW: …thus far no published court decision has specifically concerned RTI and child find, and the few pertinent hearing officer decisions have been deferential to school districts (e.g., Cobb County School District, 2012; Joshua Independent School District, 2010).

Impact on SPED: Research Support
“Use of RTI has resulted in lower rates of SLD (Burns, Appleton, & Stehouwer, 2005) improved proportionality or indicators of equity, earlier delivery of special education services, and increased student achievement (Marston, Muyskens, Lau, & Canter, 2003)”
