In our schools, every child accesses universal instruction first. Teachers regularly collaborate with instructional coaches, special educators, academic and behavioral interventionists, counselors, and specialists (including physical, occupational and speech therapists) to design instruction that meets the needs of all students. Nevertheless, many students at some time will need additional support in a particular area. At those times, we add layers of support according to the severity and duration of the need, without taking away the child’s access to universal instruction.
