If the student fails to show significantly improved academic skills despite several well-designed and implemented interventions, this failure to “respond to intervention” can be viewed as evidence of an underlying learning disability.If the student fails to show significantly improved academic skills despite several well-designed and implemented interventions, this failure to “respond to intervention” can be viewed as evidence of an underlying learning disability.
