RTI and SLP Services: Road Map to Implementation

Presented by Judy Rudebusch, Ed.D. CCC-SLP

Dr. Judy Rudebusch is a speech-language pathologist and director for special services in Irving, Texas. She oversees state and federal programs in bilingual/ESL education, special education, gifted-talented education, NCLB programs, adult education, At-Risk services, parent involvement and adult education programs. She has a keen interest in the application of systems theory and continuous improvement. For over two decades, Judy has applied continuous improvement models to school-based SLP services. She writes and speaks extensively on the topics of RTI and using a workload approach for caseload management.

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tiered approach to providing instruction, services, and intervention to struggling learners at increasing levels of intensity. It is a general education process for meeting the needs of every learner. Simply stated, the purpose of RTI is to provide quality instruction for all students with focused intervention for students who struggle, and frequent monitoring of each student’s response to the instruction and focused intervention. RTI provides a framework for prevention of learning difficulties, intervention when students do not learn at the expected rate, as well as identification of students who need intensive interventions in additional to quality instruction in the regular classroom in order to learn at expected rates. This course is designed to explore the components of an integrated RTI system with special attention to practical tips for SLPs to fully participate in the RTI framework.

Learning Outcomes: At the completion of this event participants will be able to:
Set up SLP prevention services through an RTI model.
Identify at least three SLP activities they can provide at Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3.
Participate in RTI team problem solving using student performance data
Participate in RTI through a Workload Approach
