I think these EBI's can be very helpful based on the disproportionality (demographic groups) we see in the special education classrooms. Specifically the cognitive-behavior therapy intervention helps with controlling emotions and behaviors. I know in the classroom as a teacher you want to focus on teaching them but emotions may sometimes get in the way of a student succeeding in a lesson. For the child going through this intervention, they will be more successful academically by being able to overcome their emotions when dealing with a difficult lesson.

Initially I never realized how important RTI really is for our future students. It gives teachers the ability to see where their student is struggling in an area like academics, social scenes, or emotional aspects. It allows teachers to put a stop or alleviate the area that they struggling in before it gets worse. It also prepares teachers for their possible IEP's that they would be writing for a student.
