How Did We Get Here?December 1, 2010
Documentation of intensive intervention before assessing Classroom Achievement.
Inadequate Classroom Achievement defined as 1.25 standard deviations or more below the mean for same age peers.
Additional Exclusionary Factor: Lack of appropriate instruction in the area(s) under consideration (Not just reading and mathematics)
Information processing is no longer required.

Definition of SLD
Specific Learning Disability means a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell or perform mathematical calculations, including conditions such as perceptual disabilities,
![Page 7: Teacher In-Service August, 2013. Abraham Lincoln](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55192adc5503462f428b4d33/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Definition of SLD
brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia and developmental aphasia. The term does not include learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing, motor disabilities, cognitive disabilities, emotional disturbance, cultural factors, environmental or economic disadvantage.
![Page 8: Teacher In-Service August, 2013. Abraham Lincoln](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55192adc5503462f428b4d33/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Documentation Requirement
IEP Form ER-2: Additional Documentation Required when child is evaluated for Specific Learning Disabilities
ER-2: The student received intensive intervention, which was applied in a manner highly consistent with its design, closely aligned to pupil need, and culturally appropriate.
THIS INFORMATION MUST BE DOCUMENTED IN ORDER TO CONTINUE WITH A SLD EVALUATION

School Wide Notification
Once a school begins to use response to intensive intervention method, it must be used for ALL SLD eligibility decisions for students enrolled at the school.
School-based not district-based decision.
Parents of ALL enrolled students must be notified at least 10 days before implementation.

2 “Types” of Intensive Interventions
Type 1: 1 required prior to academic testing for
inadequate classroom achievement Required of all SLD evaluations
Type 2: 2 required for EACH area of potential SLD
concern. More rigorous than those required in #1. If implemented PRIOR to academic testing, may
count for #1 also. Required for enrolled public school students
after school begins using new criteria.
![Page 16: Teacher In-Service August, 2013. Abraham Lincoln](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55192adc5503462f428b4d33/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Standards for ALL (Type 1&2) Intensive Interventions
Used with individual or small groups Focused on single or small number of
discrete skills Include substantial number of
instructional minutes beyond what is provided to all students
Applied in a manner highly consistent with its design, closely aligned to student need.
Culturally responsive.
![Page 17: Teacher In-Service August, 2013. Abraham Lincoln](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55192adc5503462f428b4d33/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Definitions Adequate Fidelity – 80% of the
recommended number of weeks, sessions and minutes per/session.
Substantial Number of Minutes – not clearly specified by the state however, should be consistent with the recommended minutes prescribed by the intervention.
“Two” Interventions – they can include the same intervention done more frequently, for larger periods of time in a smaller group.
![Page 18: Teacher In-Service August, 2013. Abraham Lincoln](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55192adc5503462f428b4d33/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Insufficient Progress
Insufficient response to intensive, scientific researched-based or evidence-based interventions.
Progress monitoring data from at least 2 intensive interventions in EACH area of potential SLD is required.
Baseline data and at least weekly progress monitoring is required.
Rate of progress is compared to same-age peers.
![Page 19: Teacher In-Service August, 2013. Abraham Lincoln](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55192adc5503462f428b4d33/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
When is Progress Insufficient?
Progress is the same or less than same-age peers OR
Progress is greater than same-age peers but will not result in reaching the average range of achievement in a reasonable period of time OR
Progress is greater than same-age peers but the intensity of resources necessary to obtain this rate of progress cannot be maintained in general education

Progress Monitoring
What is progress monitoring? A scientifically based practice to assess
student response to intervention Uses Valid and reliable tools (Probes)
Brief, direct measures of specific academic skills
Multiple equal or nearly equal forms Sensitive to small changes in student
performance Provides valid, reliable measures of
performance during intervention.Pl 11.02 (9)

Kaukauna’s Process
Step One: Student is struggling in the core curriculum…. Provide differentiated instruction in the core (Tier 1)
Step Two: Student continues to struggle based on data, provide intensive intervention (consider requesting SST) based on recommendation of data team. (Tier 2)
Step Three: Modify or intensify interventions or change to a different intervention, based on recommendations of data team or SST. (Tier 2)
Step Four: Student continues to struggle after multiple interventions with appropriate data, consider SLD referral. (Tier 3)
