Early Childhood 2010 Meeting Handouts
On August 3, 2010, the RTI Action Network presented a session titled "Response to Intervention (RTI) in Early Childhood" at the Early Childhood 2010 Meeting in Washington, DC, which was convened jointly by the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The session addressed the essential components, benefits, and challenges unique to implementing RTI in early childhood programs, with consideration of both policy and practice. In addition, presenters described two informational Web sites—Recognition & Response and the Center for Response to Intervention in Early Childhood—that provide some guidance for local programs interested in RTI.
