Are We Repeating History? | Edward Schultz

Dr. Schultz tells us about the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education report from 2002.  The recommendations in this report drove the revision of IDEA in 2004.  At the time, SLD identifications were reported to have grown by 300%.  The recommendation was to include Response to Intervention.  The question here would be, with the lack of focus on good RTI practices, is our rise in referrals a sign that we are Repeating History? Dr. Schultz argues that CSEP is the answer in the context of the state of RTI at this time.
