If Your Child is Not Eligible for Services. If your child is not found eligible through this process, the school district still has an obligation to use general education remediation strategies for your child. This is referred to as the RTI process, discussed earlier in this training. Your teacher and school team should continue to gather data on your child's progress. It may be that your child would benefit from additional accommodations, in which case you could work with your team to develop a 504 plan for your child.
