The Response to Intervention (RTI) framework includes a tiered support model to determine the level of interventions and strategies students with disabilities require to succeed academically and behaviorally. Congruently, embedded in the RTI framework are accommodations and modifications made to the environment, curriculum, instruction or assessment for students with disabilities to be successful learners. The resources in this section focus on RTI tiered intervention supports (including resources for RTI supports for students in grades K-8 in reading and Mathematics) and accommodations and modifications, including assistive technology.
