1. Three different interpretation models for SLD evaluations were discussed in class and your readings. Please select one model and explain it. For full points, ensure that you discuss how the model works as well as its advantages and disadvantages.

Response to Intervention (RTI) model with is a tried model in the shape of a pyramid the base is considered the universal screening where all students are given standard instruction and are closely monitored. Those that seem to struggle will be given intensive instructions which would be the middle of the pyramid. And those students that still need help and don't respond to the intervention will receive SPD services. Advantages are children as early as kindergarten will be recognized early for any discrepancies and Disadvantage would be that it would see children at risk regardless of their culture or linguistics.
