In February, 2013, the Division of Early Childhood, the National Association for the Education of Young Children, and the National Head Start Association released a collaborative paper to provide clarification and assistance regarding the relationship of response to intervention (RTI) with the field of early childhood (EC). In addition to promoting a broader discussion of this topic, in this article, I provide a valuable resource for families, and general and special education early childhood teachers, administrators, and leaders in the field. The following key elements are discussed: context for RTI in K-12 and EC, features of RTI frameworks in EC, misunderstandings and misconceptions of RTI, and the future of RTI in EC programs.
