Considerable disagreement exists about whether early intervention for children with disabilities should be child directed or more teacher directed.

Research has established that inclusion is more effective than education in special classes.

Students with disabilities must be included in standardized testing.

Professionals are in agreement about the extent to which technology can and should be used. (correct)

Prereferal teams serve all of the following purposes EXCEPT:

Recommending strategies for working with children who exhibit academic and behavioral problems.

Establishing 'ownership' of students with disabilities by general educators.

Reducing the number of referrals to special education.

Developing IEPs for all students who need them. (correct)

Response to intervention (RTI) is a prereferral model most often used in determining whether a child has a specific learning disability. In this model:

Students usually receive one to two hours of closely monitored support in a resource room.

Professionals monitor student's performance on standardized tests at different levels of support.

It is assumed that the general education teacher's instruction is evidence-based and of high quality. (correct)

Study Notes

Misconceptions and Understandings

Inclusion in education is more effective than special education classes, contrary to some misconceptions.
Professionals have varying opinions on the use and extent of technology in education.
Inclusion of students with disabilities in standardized testing is essential for equitable assessment.
There is debate regarding early intervention strategies for children with disabilities, either child-directed or teacher-directed.

Prereferral Teams Functions

Prereferral teams reduce special education referrals by addressing academic and behavioral issues.
They establish "ownership" by general educators for students with disabilities.
They do not develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for all students needing them.

Response to Intervention (RTI) Model

RTI is a prereferral model for assessing specific learning disabilities.
Assumes general education instruction is high-quality and evidence-based.
Teacher reports contribute to understanding student performance and necessary interventions.

RTI Application

RTI applies to both academic and social behavior learning.
It is not limited to students with learning disabilities and differs from prereferral teams.

Effectiveness of Prereferral Teams and RTI

Research indicates limited evidence on the effectiveness of prereferral teams and RTI.
Mainstreamed students have shown improved academic achievement due in part to these strategies.

Progress Monitoring Assessments

Frequent assessments, known as progress monitoring assessments, track whether students are learning as expected.
They provide real-time feedback to educators about student learning progress.

Individualized Program Requirement

Schools must create a written educational program for each student requiring special education services.
Individualized programs do not need to be delivered only by a certified special education teacher.

Components of an IEP

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) must include annual goals, related services, and instructional objectives.
It does not require the inclusion of a student's IQ score.

Legal Sequence of IEP Development

The correct legal sequence in IEP planning is evaluation, followed by development of the IEP, and then placement.

Individual Family Service Plan (IFSP)

An IFSP is specifically designed for preschool children with disabilities, functioning similarly to an IEP but focusing on family involvement and support.
