Question about RTI's......

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Okay, well, I'm probably asking a question that has been asked before, but until now, it didn't pertain to me.......so here goes.

One of my kids,,,,not AS, but processing issues and ADD,,,, is still struggling (4th grade) with spelling, math, everything, really. He's better than he was,,,,but it seems that he's always been about 2 years behind where he is. Know what I mean?

Well,,,,,,someone suggested requesting an RTI for him.

I've Googled it but would really love some input from people who've used it, requested it, etc. The good, the bad and the ugly....ha ha.

What is the best way to request it? I've always had a good relationship with the teacher and most of the school, so this doesn't' have to get nasty, but I also see that it's very easy to get "pushed aside" and "poo-poo'd"...............so they don't have to do things.

Anyway, thanks. Oh....he does NOT have an IEP. They've always just moved him to the front and said that they understand him. Try to explain more, etc. But, so far,,,,he's only been in the State Reading program which was only through 2nd grade. He's also been given the teacher in each grade that has more experience with all kinds of issues.

Thanks again.

It really is simple. Just treat others kindly and with respect.
