What accommodations have been used by the student and were they effective? Has the complexity of the materials been changed in such a way that the content has been modified?

Direct Services:

7. Standards-based IEP State-Directed Project – Winter 2011 Good practice is generally thought to include the following aspects: The intervention procedure is designed by the related service professional (with IEP team input) for an individual student. The related service professional has regular opportunities to interact with the student. The related service professional provides ongoing training, monitoring, supervision, procedural evaluation, and support to staff members and parents. Indirect Services:

Identifying the Supplementary Aids and Services: Accommodations Do not reduce learning expectations Provide access Modifications Practices that change, lower or reduce learning expectations Can increase the gap between achievement and proficiency Standards-based IEP State-Directed Project – Winter 2011

10. Presentation: o Provide on audio tape o Provide in large print o Reduce number of items per page or line o Provide a designated reader o Present instructions orally Response: o Allow for verbal responses o Allow for answers to be dictated to a scribe o Allow the use of a tape recorder to capture responses o Permit responses to be given via computer o Permit answers to be recorded directly into test booklet Test Scheduling o Administer a test in several timed sessions or over several days o Allow subtests to be taken in a different order o Administer a test at a specific time of day Setting: o Provide preferential seating o Provide special lighting or acoustics o Provide a space with minimal distractions o Administer a test in small group setting o Administer a test in private room or alternative test site Examples of Classroom Accommodations Standards-based IEP State-Directed Project – Winter 2011

11. Increase students independence; Example: Use of voice recognition computer software vs. scribe to compose a paragraph Are designed for students continued use after high school; Example: Use of augmentative communication device vs. personal assistant to request appropriate accommodations Support the achievement of students postsecondary goals; Example: Use of a cell phone alarm vs. fathers reminders to take medications so that student can live in his own apartment Examples of Transition Accommodations: Supports that facilitate the transition to adult life include those that:

12. Standards-based IEP State-Directed Project – Winter 2011 The IEP team has described the student-specific services for: special education (specially designed instruction) related services, supplementary aids and services or program modifications. For each service the IEP team described: Frequency and amount, Location (e.g., general education classroom, special education classroom, lunchroom, etc.), and duration. The services are based on peer-reviewed research to the extent possible. Quick Check: Identifying Special Education and Related Services Dos and Donts When Selecting Accommodations are listed on page 34 of the guidance document

15. Standards-based IEP State-Directed Project – Winter 2011 Sample: Extended School Year Services The IEP team determined that the student needs ESY services. The IEP team determined that the student does not need ESY services. Describe. Student Name: Jane Smith Date: 12/10/12 Page: xx of xx Student Number: 999999 Summarize the IEP teams discussions and decision about ESY: the IEP team discussed Janes progress and made a determination that it would not be jeopardized by the lack of services beyond the normal school year. If ESY services are to be provided, identify which goals in the current IEP will be addressed by the ESY service: Identify the Extended School Year services needed to meet these goals: Service(s)FrequencyLocation (name of school **) Instructional Setting Duration m/d/y to m/d/y X
