The RTI Model as a prevention strategy for learning disorder

Abstract

This research aimed to present the RTI model, as well as its suitability and relevance as an effective and alternative proposal to the Brazilian curricular bases. A bibliographic review had performed, which included national and international scientific publications, developed in the last 10 years. The descriptors used: “response to intervention”, “education” and “learning disorder”. The retrieved texts had read, analyzed and categorized: (A) Historical background; (b) structure; (c) effects observed for model consolidation; (d) possible contributions of RTI to Brazilian education. The Brazilian educational system can cope with its failure and dropout rates by adopting RTI. The model may favor: (1) prevention through periodic monitoring of children's performance; (2) corrective character when offering tutoring. Discussions about the effects of RTI are considered emerging and necessary, as they are relatively recent in Brazil, especially to consolidate the social transformation function of educational agents.
