Within the public school system, many general education students struggle with their daily academic tasks. Taking a proactive approach, my school district provides an intervention plan called Response to Intervention (RtI) to equip teachers and students with ideas and strategies to improve general education students’ academic performance, an intervention process supported by The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. RtI is a tiered intervention system that increases by level as the student continues to require support. Once the intervention reaches the third tier, the student may receiv either an observation or evaluation by and occupational therapist (OT) to provide an OT’s perspective on the student’s performance of fine motor, visual-motor, and visual perceptual tasks involved in specific areas of difficulty. An OT is an excellent source of strategies to enhance student performance in many areas of academic participation at all three levels of intervention. A manual demonstrating the effective implementation of OTs as members of the RtI team to improve general education students’ participation in academic is the basis for this capstone project.
