INCLUSION PROGRAMS FOR DISTRICT 75 STUDENTS

Ketler Louissaint

Superintendent District 75 Citywide Programs District 75 Inclusive Programs District 75 Special Education Inclusive Services are an opportunity for students with disabilities to receive special education services from District 75 while participating in the general education curriculum at a District 1-32 . Students receive services from a District 75 Special Education Teacher, and if appropriate, related services and paraprofessional support, from District 75 providers. Students learn in age-appropriate general education classes, receive instruction from a general education teacher, and participate in school programs with students with and without disabilities.

OVERVIEW

1. What are District 75 Special Education Inclusive Services? District 75 Special Education Inclusive Services allows students with disabilities to access the general education curriculum in their least restrictive environment. Students receiving these services are fully included in all District 1-32 school classes, programs, and activities (including after-school events and other school-sponsored activities). Services by the District 75 Special Education Teacher can be provided in the general education classroom and/or in a separate location, as per the student’s Individualized Education Program (IEP). District 75 Inclusive Services have also been known as a District 75 Inclusion Program or District 75 SETSS program. For students receiving these services, District 75 and District 1-32 provide shared instruction. This means that students are on both schools’ registers and that both schools oversee the students’ academic course work and special education supports and services. 2. Where are District 75 Special Education Inclusive Services offered? District 75 Inclusive Services are not offered in every District 1-32 school; however these services are provided to students at every grade level ( through grade 12 and in some based settings) and in every borough based on the student’s IEP mandates. Please contact the Office of Inclusive Education at 212-802-1519 for a complete list of District 1- 32 schools where these services are offered.

ELIGIBILTY

3. Who is eligible to receive District 75 Inclusive Services? All students receiving special education services in a special class in a specialized school (District 75) can be recommended to receive District 75 special education supports and services in a District 1-32 school. The decision to recommend District 75 Inclusive Services must always be made by the student’s Committee on Special Education (CSE) and be based on the individual student’s strengths and needs.

4. Who recommends a student for District 75 Inclusive Services? Recommendations for District 75 Inclusive Services must be made by the student’s school- based or district CSE at an IEP meeting. While changes to an IEP typically occur during a student’s annual review, the process can take place at any time with proper written notice to the parents and participation by the appropriate members of the CSE. Since a recommendation for District 75 Inclusive Services represents a significant move to a student’s least restrictive environment (LRE), the school psychologist must participate in the IEP meeting, and if necessary conduct a reevaluation before the recommendation is made. The transition to middle and high school are also points when all recommended special education services should be reconsidered. This is a time for the CSE to reconsider the student’s strengths and anticipate his/her needs in a new school environment. For example, if a student has been in a District 75 special class, articulation to a may be the time to consider a transition to receiving Special Education Services from a District 75 provider in a District 1-32 school. Similarly, if a student has been receiving District 75 Inclusive Services, articulation to a new school may be time to consider transition of special education services to District 1-32 school providers. 5. How are District 75 Inclusive Services reflected on the IEP? A recommendation for District 75 Inclusive Services is reflected in both the Recommended Special Education Programs/Services and the Special Transportation/Placement Recommendations sections of the IEP.

• Recommended Special Education Programs/Services o If the recommendation for a student is to receive supports of Special Education Teacher Support Services, District 75 is listed as the “provider” under “Service Delivery Recommendations.” o As is the case with all special education programs/services recommendations, the CSE is to indicate how frequently the services will be provided, the duration of those services, the location where the services will be provided and the projected beginning date of the service. • Placement Recommendation – When completing the Special Transportation/Placement Recommendation, all students recommended for District 75 Inclusive Services must have a placement recommendation of NYC DOE School Non-Specialized (District 1-32).

6. What is the placement process for students recommended for District 75 Special Education Inclusive Services? A recommendation for District 75 Inclusive Services is reflected in both the Recommended Special Education Programs/Services and the Special Transportation/Placement Recommendations sections of the IEP. When making the recommendation for District 75 Inclusive Services, the IEP team must specify in SESIS the Recommended Special Education Programs and Services. Using the drop-down menu under “Special Education Program/Services,” the IEP team should indicate that the student will receive of Special Education Teacher Support Services (SETSS). District 75 should be selected as the provider under “Service Delivery Recommendations.” The IEP team must also indicate in SESIS the Placement Recommendation by selecting “NYCDOE School Non-Specialized (District 1-32).
