Hi,

Someone changed the categories for this article to Childhood Psychiatric disorders and Special education. I agree with the Special Education category. I don't understand why the Childhood Psychiatric disorder category should be applied, nor do I understand why the Education and Learning disability categories are not appropriate.

Can you give me some more information about the thinking behind the changes?

Here is a summary of why I inserted the categories as I did:

+ RTI is an academic intervention method (hence the education category)

+ Designed to provide early intervention for all children having difficulty (the assumption is that they have not been diagnosed with a LD)

+ At the end of which some children are identified as having a learning disability and referred for special education (hence the LD category and special education category)

Best,

I have put in some section headings, lists and done some general cleanup. I have used RTI instead of RtI throughout except in the intro to make it a bit clearer in the standard font. SuW (talk) 19:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I have corrected the use of Roman numerals for Tiers I, II and II to use Tiers 1, 2, 3. I don't know what the real world uses but it should be consistent. SuW (talk) 19:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
