The Intervention and Referral Services (I&RS) process is designed to assist students who are experiencing learning, behavior, health, or social-emotional difficulties and to assist staff in addressing the student’s learning, behavior, health, or social-emotional needs.

The I&RS process for general education students is intended as a primary way in which general education teachers or specialists can assist a student who is struggling  within the general education environment. I&RS programs exist primarily to focus on particular student issues using available resources within the general education classroom. The end result of I&RS activities should be student improvement through direct assistance to the student or support to staff who play a role in the student’s school day.
