Today I left a message for you and did not receive a call back. So thought I would send you an email. On April 19, I received a letter from you discussing my son Eric Mungia (2nd grade) progress and information that he remains on Tier 2.

What are the benefits of implementing early intervention and RTI’s for children with early signs of a learning disability? This is a serious topic because of the increase over the years of children with learning disabilities. Instead of just placing students in special education programs educators must assess and evaluate students. As well as try early intervention programs and responsiveness to intervention known as RTI to try to delay the disability or stop the disability from forming and progressing. I have gathered articles that show the implementing of early intervention programs and RTI models to enhance children that show signs of an early learning disability. The articles all show how these programs can help students progress in academics as well as behavior areas in the classroom.
In this case, teachers must employ other resources and feet collaboration from colleagues. This is where the RTI process comes into place. Messmer and Messmer, (2008) explained that the response to intervention serves as a vehicle to identify and serve students with learning difficulties. On the other hand, several steps should be followed to implement correctly RTI. In my opinion, my school possesses a fair understanding of the RTI process and manages the implementation of a consistent approach that positively affects the student.
The reexamination should start with a formal look at the SSI assessment center results and recommendations. The evaluation should review all of SSI’s results to determine the reliability (Heneman, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2015, pp. 327-335) and validity of each (Heneman, Judge, & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2015, pp. 336-348). Mandy should take the information shared by her brother-in-law as the leading factors in the evaluation of the SSI results. Furthermore, interviews with the candidates that went through the program should be conducted to obtain details of the assessment process and their perspectives of the assessment. This will give an inside look into how the assessment is handled and the candidates takeaways from it. Mandy should consult with SSI on their process of evaluations in the assessment center, and request a written report of the complete process from start to

Danielle explained that in school he has gotten away with not doing school work. He recently spent 8 days at VTTT.
I wanted to follow up with you about Hannah's IEP. I have looked through the draft the below are my concerns and suggestions.
I agree with the points made by Grace, Donna, and Ashleigh that conveys individuals who are NGRI should be detained longer than the persons who committed similar acts but were not found NGRI.
Children’s Treatment Network (CTN) regrets that your son’s Diagnostic Assessment Report was inadvertently shared with the early interventionist who was in the process of transitioning Essa’s care to another early interventionist. Unfortunately the occupational therapist, Laurie Schultz, who participated in the diagnostic feedback session failed to share your wishes to only share the report with the two physicians named. On discussing the information with Laurie it was clear that this was truly an error on her part and she sincerely regretted not informing the early interventionist not to access the report. Not sharing the report with the early intervention staff involved is not the usual process and therefore on not hearing about any restrictions,
Social work is a highly organized profession that involves a large broad of need-to-know knowledge base and the up most intellectual skills, which allows the social worker to follow a certain process of assessment and intervention when working with a service user. Throughout this essay an intervention plan will be developed, canvassing Trevithick’s framework of theoretical, factual and practical for the case study of Mrs. Browning. The case describes a widowed 85-year-old Mrs. Browning who has been admitted to Western Health Hospital after a fall at her home. Before the incident, she has managed independently with some support from her daughter who lives 50 miles away, whereas her other two adult children live out of state. The fall has resulted
Once a student has been diagnosed with having ADHD they are at a higher risk for failing grades and could need to be referred to special education program. Different interventions have occurred to help avoid academic under achievement with students who have ADHD. These interventions can include medication, parent education, and classroom behavior intervention. The purpose of the article is to address a gap in early intervention. The gap is addressed through a study examining behavior response to psychosocial intervention to see if it associates with improvement in early reading and math. This study was based on 41 children between ages 3- 6. The method involved a two-stage screening process. The first stage made sure the participants attend
Upon reading about the accommodations, I could appreciate the labor intensiveness of enacting the details of the plan. I could also appreciate the amount of expertise, skill and perseverance that would be required of the main instructor of a child with ADHD. From the case roles, I came to a greater appreciation of the multidisciplinary nature of treatment for children with ADHD. In dealing with the IEP, there were six professional involved, as well as Robert and his mother. Robert and his mother displayed unique aspects of the psychosocial and socio-economic ramifications of poverty, substance abuse and suboptimal family support systems that affected Robert. Of the different roles, most were trying to bolster Robert and two, Mr. Plum and Robert’s mother, were not very supportive of him achieving his
The prevention of mental disorders within the public health framework has the goal of not only preventing a disorder before its onset, but also preventing relapse and the worsening of symptoms among persons who may already have mental disorders or symptoms (US HHS & SAMHSA, 2007). While each of these goals is equally important to public mental health efforts, they require different intervention approaches. The three primary intervention approaches, universal, selective, and indicative, each tackle the prevention of mental disorders among populations with varying degrees of risk. Universal intervention approaches are applied to the general population, meaning the intervention does not target participants based on individual risk (Bradshaw,
In conclusion, it seems as though all the positives of the response to intervention program outweigh any negatives about it. The RTI program is extremely helpful in identifying any student that is having academic difficulties at an early age. Whether these students should be considered in the special education program or not can also be determined by using the RTI program. There is no reason to allow students to fail before any intervention is even considered. Anything that is beneficial in helping students succeed in their academic achievements should be viewed as a
You are receiving this letter because I am appealing your recent decision on denying Social Security disability for my severe atopic dermatitis, allergies, and asthma. I developed these critical symptoms as a baby and continue to suffer from them today. They have been uncontrollable diseases that have haunted me my entire life seeing that there is no cure for them and they are triggered by daily foods, activities, and the environment, with my daily functionality is limited and dictated.
The sessions that I had with Marc thus far has proven to be effective in my efforts to give him another perspective on his own position of his self identity. Along with working with me, Marc is working with his disability service counselor and two other counselors in the student’s center. I have consulted the other two counselors who are working with him in creating his student education plan. I have also consulted with my direct supervisor with what I am working on and discussing what is working and not working for him. Again, I am very cognizant of his speech impairment and his disclosure of his disability. Marc is utilizing all of his resources to his best ability to get the most out of what he wants in education at American River College.
