What are the benefits of universal screening?

What will be an ideal response?


Universal screening is an essential component of RTI. Screening is done as part of the first tier of an RTI model to determine who is likely to be at risk for academic difficulties. All students are screened and screening allows students who struggle to be identified early so they can receive help. Previously, it was typically the teacher who first noticed that students were struggling and referred them for an evaluation. Invariably some students were overlooked. Once students have been identified as needing additional assistance using a screening measure, interventions are provided.
