RTI, MTSS, and Special Education Identification Processes

 Students must qualify for special education services under one of the disability categories outlined by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. There is a specific process involved in identifying students as having a disability. This process includes a group of educators called a Child Study Team who help determine interventions for students. This process can include RTI, MTSS, and the special education identification process. Special education teachers will be involved in all steps of these processes.

Create a 250-500 word brochure for families of students who may have disabilities. In your brochure, include the following

• An explanation of RTI, MTSS, and the special education identification process
• A visual to help families understand the explanation of RTI, MTSS, and the special education identification process
• An overview of procedural safeguards and parental rights
• A minimum of three local or national resources to support families who have children with disabilities
