Implementing Tier 2 and Tier 3 Reading Interventions: What Can Research Tell Us?
August 18, 2010
Although many schools implement RTI frameworks in primary grade reading, several questions remain. For example, how long should Tier 2 be provided? Who can provide these interventions? How many students can we expect to have adequate response to interventions? How can Tier 3 interventions be individualized to meet students’ needs and still be implemented with fidelity? Dr. Carolyn Denton, Associate Professor in the Children’s Learning Institute (University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, TX), will provide insights on these topics from studies conducted through the Texas Center for Learning Disabilities and other reading intervention research.

Identifying Students with Specific Learning Disabilities in a Response to Intervention Model
February 17, 2010
This webinar, presented by Dr. Jack M. Fletcher of the University of Houston, examines issues related to the identification of specific learning disabilities (SLDs) in the context of a response to intervention (RTI) model of service delivery. Consistent with current research, in any identification model SLD should be identified based on 3 primary criteria: evidence of adequate instruction, evidence of low achievement in one or more of the 8 domains of SLD in IDEA, and absence of other disabilities and conditions that explain (1) and (2). Contrasts with other proposed models are provided and methods for operationalizing the proposed model in the context of a RTI service delivery framework are provided.
