In the most recent IDEA (2004), Response to Intervention(RTI)

is emphasized as a method for identifying students with learning disabilities. RTI is a multi-tiered approach that involves early intervention and progress monitoring to provide support to students who are struggling academically. By using RTI, educators can identify and address a student's learning needs before referring them for special education services. This approach aims to prevent students from falling behind and ultimately reduce the number of students classified as having a learning disability.
