Federal Laws and Regulations Regarding Individuals with Disabilities

• IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) http://www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/idea

– A federal law governing special education ages 3-21 – First enacted in 1975. Most recently reauthorized in 2004. – Entitles students to a free appropriate public education – Establishes the basis for state law and regulations governing student with disabilities

• Part 300 of Federal Regulations Federal regulations implementing IDEA http://www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/idea/finalregs.htm
• Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/edlite-FAPE504.html

– Section 504 is a federal Civil Rights Act to ensure nondiscrimination based on disability in federally funded programs. – Section 504 covers individuals not necessarily covered under IDEA, such as students whose disability does not meet the definition of one of the classifications covered by IDEA.

• ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) http://www.ada.gov/pubs/adastatute08.pdf

– Civil Rights legislation prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal opportunity for persons with disabilities in employment, government services, public accommodations, commercial facilities, etc. – Relates to equal access issues, such as handicap assessable buildings.

• FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) http://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html

– Governs the confidentiality of education records

• Technology-Related Assistance Act of 1988

– Requires states to develop consumer-responsive programs of technology-related services for individuals with disabilities of all ages. – Defines assistive technology (AT) device and services. – These definitions were incorporated into IDEA in 1990, thus, providing AT devices and services would be the responsibility

• f the LEA if the IEP team deemed them necessary to facilitate appropriate special education services.

agency with responsibility for educating the student (e.g., Office of Mental Health for a child attending a State operated psychiatric Center Education Program)

• A designee of an

education program affiliated with a child care institution with CSE responsibilities (e.g., Article 81 residential programs with a school component) If received by chairperson, they must notify principal within 5 school days If received by a principal, immediately notifies the Chairperson “Date of receipt” = the date received by the committee chairperson or principal, whichever is earliest Chairperson immediately notifies parent of referral, provides Procedural Safeguards Notice, the Parent Guide to Special Education, prior written notice to conduct an initial evaluation, and requests consent to evaluate

• Professional staff

member of the school district

• Licensed physician
• Judicial officer
• Professional staff

member of a public agency with responsibility for welfare, health or education of children

• Student who is 18

years of age or older,

• r an emancipated

minor Requests for referral submitted by persons other than the student or judicial officer must include:

• Reasons for the referral and test results, records, or reports
• Intervention services, programs or methodologies used to

remediate the student’s performance prior to referral, or state reasons why no such attempts were made

• Describe the extent of prior parent contact

Upon receiving a request for referral, a school district must within 10 school days, either:

• Request parent consent to initiate evaluation; or
• Provide the parent with a copy of the request for referral; and
• Inform the parent of his/her right to refer the child for an initial

evaluation; and

• Offer the parent the opportunity to meet to discuss the

request for referral and, as appropriate, the availability of appropriate gen. ed. support services.

Withdrawal of Referral

Principal may request a meeting with the parent, student if appropriate, and referring staff member to determine whether the student would benefit from additional general education support services as an alternative to special education. Meeting must occur within 10 school days of receipt of referral. If they agree to withdraw the referral, this must be documented in writing, including alternative interventions to be tried, data to be collected, the duration of the intervention, and a time to review progress. A copy of the agreement goes to the parent, referring individual, and cumulative education file

CSE Process Timeline

Annual Review

*Initial evaluation timeline does not apply if parent repeatedly fails/ refuses to produce the student for evaluation. *Can agree to another evaluation timeline if child moves to another district during evaluation, or if the student is being evaluated for a learning disability

Receipt of parent consent to initiate evaluation ‘Clock’ Starts Evaluation completed IEP developed. Program / services implemented

As soon as possible, but not later than 60 school days from date of consent Within 60 calendar days*

Within 1 year from meeting BOE arranges for approved private school placement, if applicable

Within 30 school days of receipt of recommendation

SLIDE 10

Referral

Date of referral = date written referral is received by CSE chairperson or the building administrator, whichever is earliest. If received by administrator, they immediately notify CSE chairperson. If received by CSE, they notify building administrator within 5 school days. CSE chairperson immediately notifies parent, requests consent to evaluate, and gives prior written notice. Building administrator may request a meeting with parent to consider other

• interventions. Meeting must

happen within 10 days. They may agree to withdraw the referral. Document agreement, including follow-up meeting date. If no consent after 30 days, chairperson shall document attempts to obtain consent and shall notify BOE that they may request an impartial hearing to seek permission to evaluate without consent.

Evaluation, Eligibility & Recommendation

Begin evaluation process upon receipt

• f consent. Prior written notice was

given to parent with request for consent to evaluate. Evaluation must be completed within 60 calendar days of receipt of consent. The 60 days does not apply if the child transfers districts during the evaluation,

• r if the parent repeatedly fails to make

the child available for the evaluation. The timeline may be extended by agreement between parent and district for a child suspected of having a learning disability. Meeting notice given to parent at least 5 calendar days before CSE meeting. Hold CSE meeting to determine eligibility and recommendations. Forward the recommendation to BOE. Send prior notice to parent of CSE recommendation and evaluation report. If found to be ineligible, the recommendation shall indicate the reasons for ineligibility. A copy of the recommendation and appropriate evaluation information are provided to the building administrator who determines if support services are

• appropriate. A copy of the

recommendation and the evaluation report is provided to the parent .

IEP Implementation

Within 60 school days of consent to evaluate, the BOE must arrange for services per the IEP. If recommending an approved private school, BOE must arrange for services within 30 school days of receipt of the recommendation. If BOE disagrees with recommendation, it may ask CSE to reconvene, or may establish a second committee, but must still implement a program within the applicable timeline. Parent notified of BOE approval and asked for consent for initial provision

• f services.

Parent provided copy of IEP. Teachers and service providers are provided a paper or electronic copy of IEP, and the Chairperson designates an employee with knowledge of the student to inform them of their responsibilities for implementing the IEP.

Annual Review

The CSE must meet at least annually, but more often if necessary, based upon the student’s performance or request by parent or staff member. Meeting notice given to parent 5 calendar days before the meeting. After annual review, provide prior written notice of recommendation and copy of new IEP to parent. An IEP must be in place at the start of each school year. After the annual review, the IEP may be amended without a meeting by mutual agreement between parent and district. Amendment must be documented and provided to parent and district staff responsible for implementing the IEP. Amending the IEP by written agreement without meeting during the course of the year does not eliminate the requirement for an annual review.

Reevaluation

The student must be reevaluated at least once every 3 years, but more

• ften if necessary, based
• n student’s performance.

Not more than once per year, unless agreed to by parent and district. Reevaluation requires parental consent, unless the district can document it has attempted to get consent and the parent didn’t respond. Parent and CSE may agree in writing that the reevaluation is not needed. Document agreement and establish date for next reevaluation. District must complete and consider a reevaluation prior to declassifying a student. Committee must meet to discuss the reevaluation

• results. This meeting may

be consolidated with other committee meetings. If consolidating meetings, the meeting notice must indicate the dual purpose of the meeting.

Testing Accommodations

http://www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/publications/policy/testaccess/policyguide.htm

The principal promotes the expectation at the school building level that students with disabilities are capable learners who will participate and succeed in all local and State testing programs. The principal in each school is responsible for:

• implementing the school district’s policies that provide equal access to instructional and

assessment programs for all students;

• ensuring that testing accommodations are consistently and appropriately implemented during the

administration of local and State assessments and classroom quizzes and tests, as specified in each student’s IEP/504 Plan; and

• exercising

professional discretion,

• n

an emergency basis, in allowing certain testing accommodations for a student who incurs a disability shortly before the administration of a State examination, without sufficient time for the development of an IEP/504 Plan. Building principals should also be familiar with the policies and procedures included in the School Administrators Manuals distributed by the Office of State Assessment for the following testing programs:

• Elementary and Intermediate-Level Tests, and
• Regents Examinations, Regents Competency Tests and Proficiency Examinations.

These publications address general requirements for the administration of the various State assessments, as well as special considerations for students with disabilities and students who have limited English proficiency.

Guidelines for Determining a Student with a Disability’s Need for a One-to-One Aide

www.p12.nysed.gov/specialed/publications/1-1aide-jan2012.pdf

Each decision to recommend a one-to-one aide must weigh the factors of both (1) the student’s individual needs and (2) the available supports in the setting where the student’s IEP will be

• implemented. There are a number of important considerations that must be made by the CPSE/CSE in

regard to each of these factors. These include, but are not limited to, consideration of each of the following :

• What are the needs of the student which necessitate the assignment of a 1:1 aide?
• What skills and goals must the student achieve to reduce or eliminate the need for a 1:1
• What are the potential benefits of the assignment of a 1:1 aide?
• What is the potential negative impact of assignment of a 1:1 aide?
• What role will 1:1 aide fulfill (e.g., instructional; behavior support; personal hygiene assistance)?
• For what specific activities (e.g., toileting) and/or times of day (e.g., transition to and from the bus)

is the aide needed?

• What qualifications of the individual (i.e., teaching assistant or teacher aide) are necessary to

meet the needs of the student?

• What is the plan to monitor the student’s progress toward the goals to be addressed by the

assignment of the one-to-one aide and the student’s continuing need for the one-to-one ?

• What is the plan for progressively reducing the support provided to the student and his or her

dependence on an aide over time?

• If student’s one-to-one aide is absent, who will cover in order to ensure the student receives the

recommended IEP services of the one-to-one aide or how will substitute staff support be arranged?

• Who/how will one-to-one aide have access to a copy of the student’s IEP, and be informed of his
• r her responsibilities for IEP implementation for the student?
• What, if any, professional development and supervision will aide need to carry out these

responsibilities? 15

Specially-designed Instruction: means adapting, as appropriate to the needs

• f an eligible student, the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to

address the unique needs that result from the student’s disability; and to ensure access of the student to the general curriculum, so that he or she can meet the educational standards that apply to all students.

Section 200.1(vv) of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education

• Specially-designed instruction encompasses a variety of provisions for

students with disabilities in order to meet their individual needs. Some examples are: – Accommodations – Modifications – Specialized equipment – Adaptive technology – Strategy instruction- explicitly planned and delivered – Analysis of tasks – Instruction based on student gaps – Pre-teaching/ re-teaching – Scaffolding – Development of metacognitive strategies
