    Juniata's Case Study

    IDEA states that there is to be mandated free appropriate public education for those with disabilities (Hallahan & Kauffman, 2015, p. 15). Out of the eight things that each state must plan to ensure, I believe that only four of them were followed through on in Juniata’s case. They took the steps to identify that she was a student who wasn’t doing as well as others and was falling behind. The school also took the steps to evaluate her by looking at her grades, her behavior in class, and her IQ score. However, I don’t believe that a full evaluation took place, they glanced over her basic information and made a decision.…

    The Role Of Response To Intervention In Special Education

    This is my first look at the eligibility and identification practices for special education. I do not agree with the Discrepancy Model. However, from the reading and what I have observed in the school, I think that Response-to-Intervention (RTI) is the best practice for special education placement and identification. The school, where I am placed, uses a mixture of both methods, although, IQ and performance are used for eligibility. I feel that the Discrepancy Model fails to identify some students and allows them to struggle, sometimes for years, prior to receiving help.…
