The authors provide examples of the valuable knowledge special education research has generated, including the elements of response to intervention, such as screening and progress monitoring; instructional practices, such as systematic instruction and feedback; and intensive interventions designed to meet the specific learning needs of students with disabilities. The authors present the importance of maintaining an appropriate funding stream for research in special education.
