Article
Abstract:
The community resource mapping process addresses the continued emphasis placed on the importance of collaborative planning and provision of coordinated services and supports at national, state, and local levels. Meeting the school and postschool needs of youth ultimately depends on the identification, integration, and alignment of services and supports within communities, as well as the development of meaningful linkages across systems and partnerships among various stakeholders. By building on a community’s assets and shared goals, this community resource mapping tool assists stakeholders in their work to achieve and sustain positive outcomes for youth with disabilities.

RTI (response to intervention)- Rethinking special education for students with reading difficulties (yet again)
Year Published:
2006
Document Type:
Article
Abstract:
In this article, the authors discuss aspects of Response to Intervention (RTI) that appear to be promising for the field of reading, and those that they view as problematic. Unlike many earlier models of innovation in special education service delivery, there is some research indicating promise. Most of that research has been conducted with students in the first two or three years of schooling (e.g., O'Connor, 2000; Speece, Case, & Molloy, 2003; Vaughn, Linan-Thompson, & Hickman, 2003). RTI in early intervention is the focus of this article.
