RtI Action Network web site is awesome. Everyone should: 1. bookmark this web site and 2. sign up for the monthly e-news letter

ASHA website has some information – basically an FAQ document. On web site under Task Forces…too hidden…need it moved so more visible.
 * 1) J & J: RtI Document is on the TSHA site.

Good discussion about RTI information on TSHA Web Site. Our preferences in order are: JoAnn and Judy will work with TSHA EB and/or state office staff on this in conjunction with overhaul of web site. || Deborah – nothing new. Artic Lab and Story Lab going. Helping with screening for Language Lab development Martha – nothing new Alane – status quo Judy – nothing new in Irving. Nationally RTI still a hot topic with school-based SLPs. Some of the Irving SLPs will help pilot Language Lab. LRP chapter in The Answer Book on RTI came out: Involving the SLP in RTI (Rudebusch, 2009). JoAnn & Judy invited to present on RTI at the ASHA Schools Conference in July.
