04/16/2010 RTI Withing the Special Education Context
Presenter(s): Ilda Carreiro King, Ph.D.
Dr. Ilda Carreiro King, a Developmental and Educational
Psychologist, uses the lens of classroom ecology to inform improvements in reading instruction. She's known for bringing
a learner-centered approach to all levels of the school community: administrators, teachers, students, and parents.
In this presentation, she will share her knowledge and experience using RtI as a tool to discover research-based interventions
that help students without hindering the identification of a learning disability. She will also offer her thoughts on
how we, as advocates, can support the proper use of this tool.
