Next the IEP team will describe the special education and related services, accommodations and program modifications, and support for school personnel that are required to assist the student in achieving his/her goals and that will be necessary to enable the student to be educated in the least restrictive environment.
The IEP team will describe the student’s involvement in state and district-wide assessments. The IEP team decides if the student will take the assessments without accommodations, with accommodations or whether the student will participate in the state’s/district’s Alternate Assessment. If the student requires accommodations, the IEP team determines the specific accommodations for each assessment. If the student will participate in RI Alternate Assessment, the Participation Criteria for the RI Alternate Assessment System form must be completed and attached to the IEP.
Specially designed instruction means instruction that has been adapted in its content (curriculum), methodology (instructional strategies), or delivery (how will the content and instruction be delivered). This instruction is specially designed to address the unique needs of the student that result from the student’s disability so that the student can be involved and make progress in the general education curriculum, can participate in extracurricular and other nonacademic activities, and can be educated and participate with other children with disabilities and with nondisabled children.
