**Este módulo está disponible en español: Servicios de Atención Temprana y la Respuesta a la Intervención
Module 6 is a great way to learn about and train others on these two new elements in IDEA. Early Intervening Services (EIS) are for K-12 students with academic or behavioral difficulties who are not yet identified as having a disability. Response to Intervention (RTI) is a new approach to identifying whether a student has a specific learning disability.
Module 6 is available in English and Spanish, as you'll see below. It includes:
- a slideshow presentation;
- a Trainer's Guide; and
- handouts for participants.
Please help yourself below, and download the components you need to learn on your own and/or to train others regarding EIS and RTI.
Component #1: The Slideshows | Las Diapositivas
Download these 34 slides and make life as a trainer easier!
Need tips for downloading and using slideshows?
Component #2: Trainer's Guides | Guías para Entrenadores
There are 2 guides, an English and a Spanish, designed to show trainers how each slide operates (e.g., what clicks to make to move through the slide's content).
The English guide is where you'll find the full explanation of each slide's content. It also offers much additional info so that trainers can adapt training sessions to a length or detail suitable to the given audience.
The Spanish guide only shows how the slides operate, with thumbnail pictures of each slide. If you're a trainer in Spanish, you'll also want the English guide for its detailed content and supporting suggestions.

Component #3: Handouts for Participants | Folletos para Participants
The handouts for Module 6 are included in a packet of handouts designed to cover the entire umbrella topic of Theme B, IDEA and General Education. If you've downloaded the handouts for Theme B already, you have the handouts you need for Module 6. If you haven't downloaded any handouts for Theme B yet, then here they are in 2 different formats and 2 different languages:

Note about the Spanish Translations:
In preparing the handouts in Spanish, NICHCY has chosen to use a certain vocabulary set for the terminology most frequently used in IDEA. IDEA itself is extremely and purposefully consistent about its terminology, and we felt it critical to do the same in Spanish. However, we fully recognize that there are many ways to say the same thing, and Spanish is rich with alternatives from country to country, region to region. So we've also prepared a glossary of the terminology used in IDEA, how we've rendered that terminology in Spanish, and other ways of rendering it that families may also hear. Share this with participants as you see fit or use it to guide your own translations. The glossary of terminology is available in two formats, PDF and Word:
There! You're set to go with Module 6. Please remember that these materials are designed to be authoritative sources of information about IDEA's requirements regarding EIS and RTI. That's why they are so detailed. As a trainer, you are free to adapt these materials to fit the purposes and needs of your audience, and the amount of time you have to spend with them.
