While Rtl (Response to Intervention) is a framework used to support students with learning and communication challenges, a Speech-Language Pathologist is a licensed professional who diagnoses and treats speech and language disorders. Rtl often guides intervention strategies, whereas Speech-Language Pathologists provide direct therapy and assessments. Both roles are integral in communication development but differ in credentials and scope of practice.
