As a student moves across each tier the academic intervention changes and becomes more concentrated. The purpose of RTI is to recognized students when they begin to struggle and provide them with a high quality instructional approach, to avoid the unnecessary LD label to students who can be helped to improve their academic performance. Within RTI students’ development are recorded through curriculum base progress monitoring. Some elements of RTI are as followed; all students are screen entering the school, there are three tiers of increasingly intense instruction, the first tier occurs in regular education, continuously monitoring students’ progress through objective tests.

If schools can effectively provide these resources for students with special needs, the transition from Primary to Post-Primary education can run smoothly and create great educational experiences for these
Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.
