- Tier 1: Universal Support

- Examples: differentiated instruction, classroom accommodations.
- Tier 2: Targeted Support
- For students needing extra help beyond Tier 1.
- More focused interventions to address specific difficulties.
- Examples: small group sessions, tutoring, skill-building workshops.
- Tier 3: Intensive Support

- For students requiring significant assistance.
- Highly individualized interventions tailored to their needs.
