Students, this is a nice resource on Response to Intervention, designed for parents but possibly a good start for some of you pre-majors and those new to the major.

LD News for Parents
Dear Parent,
Response to Intervention (RTI) is a much-discussed but confusing topic for many parents and educators. As RTI is being rolled out in more schools across the country, we think it’s critical to help you understand the approach and what it can mean for your child. In that spirit, we’re highlighting several new and updated RTI articles in this issue and we invite you to share your RTI experiences with us.
Sincerely,
The NCLD Team<http://ncld.convio.net/site/R?i=W_T_UNU4qvhF2dmi_lwUUA>
