Peer reviewedVaughn, Sharon; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2003
In this introductory article, a response-to-instruction approach to learning disabilities (LD) identification is discussed. An overview of the promise and potential pitfalls of such an approach is provided. Benefits include identification of students based on risk rather than deficit and early identification. Questions concern the integrity of the…

Peer reviewedFuchs, Douglas; Mock, Devery; Morgan, Paul L.; Young, Caresa L. – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2003
This article describes the two basic versions of the responsiveness-to-intervention (RTI) approach for identifying learning disabilities, the problem solving model and the standard-protocol approach. It reviews evidence on effectiveness and feasibility and concludes that more needs to be understood before RTI may be viewed as a valid…

Peer reviewedSpeece, Deborah L.; Case, Lisa Pericola; Molloy, Dawn Eddy – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2003
Three studies investigated children's responsiveness to general education reading instruction as an indicator of need for more intensive interventions and found that the response-to-instruction model tested was valid. Results indicated that children at-risk (n=47) who received specially designed general education instruction had better outcomes…

Peer reviewedFuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2003
This article explores conceptual and technical issues associated with options for specifying three assessment components for implementing an intervention responsiveness approach to the identification of learning disabilities: the timing of the measurement of student response to intervention; the criterion for demarcating learning as inadequate;…
