MTSS is the path way to making sure that the correct students are identified for special education.

MTSS helps develop interventions that are more effect if a student is referred because when done properly you have the data to support EBP that work for that student.

MTSS can provide supports for special ed students in areas where they don't qualify. For example: if a child qualifies speech language impaired but is struggling in another area, we can pull in MTSS quickly.

MTSS and SPED can work together to target specific interventions to assist students in Tier 2 and Tier 3 instruction to determine if the interventions are leading the students to growth or if there is a true deficit/disability. MTSS and SPED can also work together prior to the referral process to analyze student data to ensure the interventions being used are effective.
