Special Education Processes

Students must qualify for special education services under one of the disability categories outlined
by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. There is a specific process involved in identifying
students as having a disability. This process includes a group of educators called a Child Study
Team who help determine interventions for students. This process can include RTI, MTSS, and the
special education identification process. Special education teachers will be involved in all steps of
these processes.
Create a 250-500 word brochure for families of students who may have disabilities. In your
brochure, include the following:
An explanation of RTI, MTSS, and the special education identification process
A visual to help families understand the explanation of RTI, MTSS, and the special education
identification process
An overview of procedural safeguards and parental rights
A minimum of three local or national resources to support families who have children with
disabilities
