10. Legal Updates Remember the Rachel H. Factors considered in OAH:  Educational Benefit in Gen. Ed.  Nonacademic (social) benefits in Gen. Ed.  Effect on teacher and other students  Cost consideration Goal of IDEA is to foster student independence Do not write in providers (names, agency, etc.) on IEPs. Use district of service as the code. Ensure providers align with IEP (i.e. need, certifications/qualifications, expertise are in sync with services). Do not write methodology in IEP (i.e. Orton-Gillingham). Steering Meeting | October 21

11. Legal Updates School officials responsible for implementing student’s IEP are considered to have “legitimate educational interest” in receiving the document. Include language in annual FERPA notice. Regardless of transportation regulation/policy; transportation must be provided if student requires it to receive FAPE. Test protocols – provide them! Assessment and data collection is KEY! Steering Meeting | October 21

Guidance: Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) Letter to Baus (OSEP 2015): If parent disagrees with assessment because student was not assessed in particular area, parent has the right to an IEE. Dear Colleague Letter (OSEP 2015): Expressed concerns that many students with autism were not receiving needed speech and language and that SLP may not be included in evaluation and/or IEP process. Memorandum to State Directors (OSEP 2015): Remind LEAs of obligation to evaluate all students, regardless of cognitive skills that are suspected of having one of the 13 disabilities. Letter to Sarzynski (OSEP 2015): If parents cannot attend in person to develop and review their child’s service plan, OSEP expects LEAs to use other methods to ensure parent participation.
