What is meant by MTSS? What does the school mean when they say my child is “in tier 2”? How is an MTSS school different from a school not doing MTSS? Is my child still receiving the best education possible? As a parent, you may have many questions about the education and behavior supports your child is receiving in an MTSS school. This session will talk about how MTSS is structured to ensure all students are receiving the level of support they need based on data, and how this system ensures students receive this support in a timely manner.  Presented by Rebecca Cain and Brandi Gerry, SD Department of Education, Special Education Programs.
HOW TO NURTURE SOCIAL EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN ISOLATION

OSEP RELEASES FAST FACTS ON CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES

SHARE YOUR FAMILY'S STORY
As part of a new project that focuses on COVID-19’s impact on children’s healthcare, the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) is gathering patient and family/caregiver stories. These stories will amplify and support webinars addressing systemic bias in health care and sharing successful practices for telehealth visits with children and families, as well in NICHQ-published articles.

NICHQ is particularly interested in hearing about the experiences of children who have special health care needs. For example:
  • Has any child had challenges getting in-person care?
  • Has any child put off critical care due to concerns about COVID-19?
  • Has any child had telehealth appointments? What went well, and what could be improved?

Families will be provided a $50 stipend for a 30-minute interview. Interested families or caregivers should complete the pre-interview questions HERE by Nov. 20. A project team member will reach out with next steps.
