The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 permits states and local school districts to use response-to-intervention to identify an individual for a possible learning disability. The act encourages the use of early intervening services to help students who struggle in reading or math but do not have a documented disability. This approach allows educators to provide targeted interventions and support to students who may otherwise go unidentified and without needed services.
