The Use of Response to Intervention (RTI) In Learning Disabilities

28th February 2021

In the 21st century special needs education field, talking with your students about their different learning challenges can really help to shape their confidence. As a modern-day special educator, you can teach them how to advocate for themselves in school as well as in life. Do you have a student who is frequently unfocused? Do you have a learner who seems extremely lazy or deliberately forgetful? If so, then it might be that the learner is not using these behavioural patterns purposefully. A learning disability may be the cause.

Well, the concept of RTI or Response to Intervention has always been the emphasis of the teaching/learning progression with a basic element of responsibility in special as well as general education. According to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA 2004), RTI has taken on a more precise connotation in the past few years. Today, various 21st century special educators, researchers, and other teaching professionals are exploring the practicality of an RTI approach.

What Is Response to Intervention (RTI)?

Well, the idea of implementing a Response-to-Intervention (RTI) development as the method for categorizing the existence of a learning disability (LD) has been around since the 1980s. IDEA stated RTI as “response to scientific, research-based intervention.” The persistence of RTI is of an inhibition prototypical practice to edge or avoid academic fiasco for learners who are having difficulty in learning.

With the aim of improving the achievement of all students, RTI approach is improving the achievement of all students especially the learners with a learning disability. The fundamental concepts of an RTI method are the application of methodical and research-based intrusions in general education, measurement of a student's rejoinder to these intercessions and the use of the RTI data to notify instruction.

How Is RTI Supposed to Lessen Disproportionality?

Well, the numerous characteristics of RTI are being offered as addressing the issue of overrepresentation:
 

  • Valuation tools used in RTI are generally non-biased as opposed to the other forms of valuation.
  • All learners gather the effective training and therefore most students will progress acceptably.
  • Educational decisions are solely based on academic performance.
  • Delivering the more intensive instruction will result in fewer students moving into special education.
  • Credentials of parent participation throughout the process help in teaching the learning disability learners.

Well, there are many. However, these are the major ones.

However, there might be circumstances outside of ACT’s control which might affect its stakeholders like if you are planning to teach in a different country, applying for a teaching license, pursuing higher studies or trying to get the certificate approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE) of a particular country then you can do so with the certificate issued by Asian College of Teachers (ACT). However, each country’s Ministry of Education (MoE) or educational bodies set certain standards that are indispensable for the pursuit of higher studies or teaching in schools in that country. So it can be a possibility that you may be able to use the certificate for higher studies or teaching purposes in one country and not in another. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you investigate thoroughly and check with the relevant authorities regarding the acceptance of the certificate issued by us before you enrol on a particular course. ACT strives to offer high-quality education and its certificates can be valuable for various purposes internationally, but still it is crucial for individuals to verify the specific recognition of the certificate in the country they intend to use it, especially for formal education or professional licensing purposes.
