Abstract
Rehabilitation services in education settings are evolving from pull-out interventions focused on remediation for children and youth with special education needs to inclusive whole-school tiered approaches focused on participation. A limited number of discipline-specific practice models for tiered services currently exist. However, there is a paucity of explanatory theory. This realist synthesis was conducted as a first step towards developing a middle-range explanatory theory of tiered rehabilitation services in education settings. The guiding research question was: What are the outcomes of successful tiered approaches to rehabilitation services for children and youth in education settings, in what circumstances do these services best occur, and how and why? An expert panel identified assumptions regarding tiered services. Relevant literature (n = 52) was located through a systematic literature review and was analysed in three stages. Several important contextual characteristics create optimal environments for implementing tiered approaches to rehabilitation services via three main mechanisms: (a) collaborative relationships, (b) authentic service delivery, and (c) reciprocal capacity building. Positive outcomes were noted at student, parent, professional, and systems levels. This first-known realist synthesis regarding tiered approaches to rehabilitation services in education settings advances understanding of the contexts and mechanisms that support successful outcomes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
