Response to Intervention

Response to intervention (RtI) integrates assessment and intervention within a multi-tiered teaching and prevention approach to maximize student achievement, reduce problem behavior and increase social competence.  With RtI, schools identify students at risk for school failure, provide evidence-based interventions, monitor student progress, and adjust the intensity and nature of those interventions based on a student’s responsiveness to them. At the same time, as schools attempt to implement the RtI model to meet the needs of students who struggle, they are often faced with implementing multiple academic and behavioral initiatives that perpetuate separate systems of interventions.  In many cases, this can be overwhelming given what educators already have on their plates. 

EdPro Development can assist schools in developing and integrating your RtI system by first working with you to self assess your Tier 1 academic and behavioral supports. Once your Tier 1 academic and behavior support systems are satisfactorily in place, we will work with you to establish your integrated Tier 2 systems such that they blend RtI, Early Intervention Services, and positive behavior supports.

The onsite services provided by EdPro to integrate Tier 2 systems is a four step process  First, we support schools to determine the variety of Tier 2 interventions already in place. Second, we support schools to analyze and refine current interventions in terms of their research-base, data-collection and decision-making strategies, effectiveness, and existing systems of referral and "graduation". Fourth, we assist schools to "fill the gaps" in interventions.  As a result of these efforts, schools will efficiently identify students who need additional supports and effectively provide those supports for students who are at risk of school failure. 

          EdPro Development is happy to continue "up the triangle" to Tier 3 systems of support, beginning with assisting schools in developing a referral process.  From here, services available to you include services for students diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders, services for students with significant behavior challenges, and our inclusion services.
