6. SPED’s Role in RtI
Because of legal reasons, SPED teachers CANNOT participate in interventions prior to the IEP.
The case managers will be doing the Tier III/referral to further evaluation now.

If the request for testing might include testing for vision, hearing, health, etc.  it would be a good idea to give an administrator a “heads up”.  
In most instances when health is in question the parents will already have the documentation.
Only the parent/legal guardian can give consent for testing.

. Students with IEPs will use interventions but not the RtI process. 
Regular education teachers who see areas of need not addressed in current IEP will use interventions, collect data and either share at the next IEP meeting, or send to the special education teacher and ask for an IEP review. 
This process will not be an official RtI.

Closing
SPED only gets involved when there is a need for a Tier III evaluation meeting.
If you have a student on an IEP and you see issues, contact the case manager.
