• Response to Intervention and Assistive
  Technology. Chapter Two of your textbook
  describes response to intervention (RTI) as a
  multilayered system that can prevent academic and
  social failure before a student is unnecessarily
  or prematurely identified as having a disability
  (p.28). Review the section on Response to
  Intervention in your textbook, and conduct
  additional research on this approach using the
  Library.
