Intervention Assistance Team
-
Each school has an Intervention
Assistance Team (IAT).
-
The IAT is designed as a group of
educational professionals who collectively
target and define student concerns and develop
individualized interventions to elevate students
to higher achievement levels.
-
Concerns about achievement are
initially raised by either the classroom teacher
or the student’s parents; however, any member of
a child’s team can make a request to the IAT.
-
The IAT is always comprised of a
student’s parents, the general education
teacher, and the school principal.
-
The team may also consist of the
following members: school psychologist, school
social worker, reading specialist, speech
language pathologist, school nurse, special
education teacher, and another general education
teacher.
The purpose of the Intervention
Assistance Team [IAT]:
-

concerns, including academic and
social/emotional/behavioral.

To serve as an intervention
design team to address the defined targeted
concerns.

a child’s general education teacher.
-
