    STEP 4: Meeting is held and action plan is developed by the assigned  case manager. The case manager is responsible for sharing it to all pertinent parties.  
    STEP 5: Teacher is responsible for implementation of the action plan and continuous review of effectiveness through feedback and assessments.

Intervention is a proactive process that interrupts, alters or prevents the progression of a condition. The intervention process is comprised of all of the actions and steps a team takes to intercede with a problem. An intervention event is only one step in the process of intervening with and ameliorating an identified concern.
