Audio Conference

September 16, 2010 • 12 - 1:30 p.m. ET
RTI and Special Ed Identification:
How It Works
Presented by W. David Tilly III, Ph.D.

The IDEA says Response to Intervention (RTI) practices are one possible alternative for identifying Specific Learning Disabilities. RTI represents an important shift in thinking regarding how disabilities might be identified, which in turn requires procedural changes in special education identification. David Tilly, a leading national expert in RTI systems implementation, gets to the root of those procedural changes and how your RTI results can help you fulfill your responsibilities to evaluate and identify students with SLDs.

In this 90-minute interactive audio conference, you and your staff will learn:

  • The legal foundations for disability identification using RTI
  • Why disability identification using RTI makes sense
  • The evidence necessary for defensible disability identification in an RTI system
  • How to determine the kinds of data necessary for entitlement decision making in an RTI system
  • How to link intervention data to entitlement decision making

Plus, time for Q&A gives you the chance to ask Dr. Tilly your specific questions.
