Interdisciplinary Studies in Special Education

collaborative
problem solving Project

General Description
The Blumberg Center's Collaborative Problem Solving Project (CPSP) is funded by the Indiana Department of Education, Center for Exceptional Learners. The CPSP supports schools to develop and implement systems of tiered prevention and intervention that actively engage school personnel and families in the task of creating academic and behavioral success for all students.

Tiered prevention and intervention systems
Assessment, instruction and intervention, and problem-solving are core components of tiered prevention and intervention models and are also integrally related to larger school improvement efforts.

The CPSP conducts research and provides professional development opportunities that promote research-based and culturally responsive practices in the areas of assessment, instruction and intervention, and problem solving. A variety of written resources are available or under development to support schools interested in utilizing tiered prevention and intervention systems or a Response to Intervention (RtI) approach.

The CPSP services are not all inclusive to support every school's needs for implementation of tiered systems, but it is the CPSP's intention to collaborate with other professionals and technical assistance centers to fill in the gaps and expand services over time.

Please view the core components of tiered prevention and intervention below. Watch the website for upcoming trainings and events.
