Response To Intervention (RTI) is the intervention used to determine whether a child should be referred for special education. RTI starts as additional help in a general educational classroom. RTI is multitier, depending on the needs and progress of a child. RTI is tested using screening instruments, progress monitoring, and curriculum-based measurement (CBM).

Tier 1 includes 80-85% of children. The child is still in the mainstream classroom receiving extra support.

Tier 2 includes 15% of children. The children get pulled out to the resource room a few times a week for extra help.

Tier 3 includes 5% of children. The children get placed into a special classroom for most of the day.
