Ep 4: When MTSS is a Mess: Under-resourced districts skirt the Child-Find obligation and overload SLPs

In this episode, Colleen delves into the complexities of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS) and its impact on special education referrals. She discusses the challenges faced by educators, parents, and students in navigating the MTSS process. She highlights issues such as resource shortages that impact fidelity of intervention, the unspoken reasons behind gatekeeping special education services, and particular issues faced by SLPs who are asked to provide RTI (response to intervention) on-top of IEP minutes.

Key Topics:

The role of MTSS in identifying and supporting students with difficulties. Challenges in implementing Tier 2 interventions effectively. The legal and practical implications of MTSS and special education evaluations.
