Tier 2 Support: MTSS/RTI/SST with Sabrina Axt

Multitiered Systems of Support (but called MANY other similar names) is a system outside of the special education system that provides targeted support to children.

But why are we talking about it on an IEP podcast???

Because…

1) You may be a parent trying to get your child an IEP but are getting pushed towards the MTSS system first (this can be good or bad!)

2) You may be seeing a need your child has that isn’t covered by their IEP currently…and they may want to provide support for THIS need through MTSS process first.
