Response to Intervention -- but What Intervention
If RTI is to be an effective way to deal with learning difficulties then the intervention must be based on an identification of the problem. I am going to outline a research study based on a Ph.D. dissertation that was later published.
An identified group of poor readers who had clear phonological deficits were compared to average readers on two simple tasks. A group of words preselected to be in the sight vocabulary of all participants were paired under two conditions. In one case the student… Continue

I will read the sentence to them, they will read it together, and finally by themselves. In the case of the boys, there is so much physical, verbal, sexually, and emotionally abuse that I try to be gentle with them.
The little girl, the sentence strip seems to work wonders with her. She has a hard time focus on one thing at a time. She needs a very quiet place to work.

- I am working with a couple of boys currently that have been abused for over two years. The oldest one, should be in the fifth grade, but do to reading and math skills the school is going to keep him back again in the third grade. I am working with him on those areas to help bring him up to a grade level. He does have a lot of behavior problems as well. A lot of his behaviors have to deal with being teased about being held back and the abuse that happens to him. His little brother should be in the first grade next year, but he has pulled himself inside. He has no motivation to read or learn to do math. They both show signs of Learning Disabilities.
I also work with another little girl who is teased for being in Special Education. She has a hard time reading, writing and doing math. I work on those skills as well as her self-esteem.
As a teacher, I just see those students with the disabilities that are hidden being teased, picked on or bullied the most. It is just what I see in the schools that I have worked in.

- Hi Bob-
I think you are correct about the LD and bullying issues that it is for post doctoral research. It was just something that popped out in my mind yesterday.
That is interesting that what we think of LD is totally different in the Carribean. I can also see that here in the states with special education services. In one state all disabilities get the same funding, while another state the might get more funding due to the disability. I find it very interesiting that a student may have more then one disability but, they can only be classiflied in one area, while in another state, they can have all their disabilities be classiflied.
It is also very interesting to myself that a lot of people see Learning Disabilities as a cane, that people use to get out of reading, writing, doing math, etc,,,, one of the areas that LD covers,
