Response to Intervention can be used in two different ways in a preschool. First, it helps children to avoid scholastic failure. Second, it provides by observation and overseeing each student to see if they have autistic behaviors early on. This is vital for children that as educators we help them not just scholarly, but also observing if they have a disability. Both affect them in their learning and the RTI process helps educators in both scenarios. The reason for RTI is because children who have special needs, or behavioral issues will have a hard time learning and they could have developmental problems later on in life if not approached right away. Which I believe as an educator you want to see the symptoms early on, rather than later on when it will be harder for the student. The difference between children in preschool who have the RTI model vs. school age children is their problem solving process since preschoolers are still developing in that area. It is critical that children who have challenging behaviors as well as autistic behavior that their families are involved in the process. During RTI it is not just the responsibility of the teacher to help the…
