LA RÉPONSE À L’INTERVENTION ET L’OFFRE DE SERVICES MULTIPALIERS POUR SOUTENIR L’INCLUSION SCOLAIRE : UN PARADOXE À VISÉE D’EXCLUSION DES ÉLÈVES EN SITUATION DE HANDICAP

Abstract

Based on a scoping review, this paper provides a critical analysis on how the current application of Response to Intervention (RTI) programs and Multi-Tier Systems of Support (MTSS) interfere with inclusive education. Five paradoxical dimensions are thus presented. These include student eligibility for professional services, identification of students with special needs, roles of teachers and of special education, evidence-based interventions and standardized programs, and a limited use of the problem-solving approach. In short, we explain how RTI and MTSS can actually impede the inclusion of students with disabilities.
