Within RTI

Within EC frameworks, matched support can be appropriately

applied to outcomes from any curricular area (mathematics,
literacy, and science) or developmental domain (language,
social-emotional, and motor), and as such does not exclusively
apply to academic outcomes . (Greenwood et al.,
2011).

Misconceptions of RTI
1) multitiered support often is required and delays or restricts referrals to special education
services
2) RTI only focuses on academic skills
3) RTI promotes teaching practicing that inapporopriate for young children
4) RTI promotes the use of ability grouping,
particularly in center-based programs.
5) The top tier of RTI is special education
