IDEA and Literacy

The recent reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEA) includes several important components related to literacy instruction, including early intervention, the use of a Response to Intervention (RTI) model in providing services, and the implementation of research based strategies. In this interactive presentation, Catherine Christo, professor of school psychology at California State University, Sacramento, will focus on strategies for fostering reading success that are aligned with IDEA 2004. Topics will include the characteristics of research-based interventions and essential elements of a Response to Intervention model.
