  7. Student Services Philosophy • Students do well when they can…if they can’t it our job as educators to figure out why, so we can teach them. (adapted from Stuart Ablon, Ph.D.) • Students have the right to receive the CORE curriculum with their peers • Students have the right to the supports they need to be successful • Believe in what is positive and possible! http://www.swiftschools.org/

  10. Referral Process • Phase 1: RecognitionStudent exhibits atypical needs as compared to peers. • Phase 2: Pre-referralStudent is provided interventions developed by a school-based team that includes parents. RTI is tried at this point. Interventions may be provided over a period of time and change during that time depending on the student’s response to the intervention • Successful intervention Process stops • Interventions not successful try different interventions or move to Referral

  11. Referral Process Phase 3: ReferralStudent is officially referred for evaluation for special education services by an adult with intimate knowledge of the student’s ability. Phase 4: EvaluationWith consent of the parents, the student is evaluated with a variety of assessment tools and strategies. The assessments must not discriminate and should provide information to help determine the unique needs of the student.

  12. Referral Process • Phase 5: EligibilityIEP team determines if the is eligible for special education services. The student must have a disability that negatively impacts his/her educational performance and the child needs specially designed instruction in order to benefit from education. • No disability is noted that impacts educational performance. Special education not required. Process stops. Student referred for interventions again. • Determination that a disability impacts educational performance and eligibility is completed for special education services.

  13. Referral Process Phase 6: IEP Process (IEP and LRE)A multi-disciplinary team of parents, general and special education teachers, administrators, and others meets to develop the Individualized Education Program (IEP). This document guides the special education program that will be provided for the student. The IEP team must also determine the least restrictive environment (LRE) and provide justification in the IEP for more restrictive placements. Phase 7: IEP Implementation (FAPE)The entire IEP team has the responsibility to ensure that the IEP is implemented Phase 8: Annual IEP Each year, the IEP team is required to meet for the dual purpose of evaluating the implementation of the current IEP and to develop the next annual IEP. Eligibility must be reestablished every three years.
