Getting Started • We want to thank you for tuning in• My name is Laura LaMore and I am a

Foundation• Supplementary Aids and Services are unique in the
IEP process and include but are not limited to:– Strengths– Consideration of Present level– Goals/Objectives– Consideration of Assessment-Participation and Provisions
• They support and promote independence and reinforce instruction across environments
4
Purpose• The purpose of this section is to identify
the supplementary aids and services that will be provided to the student
• Aids and services are developed to enable the student to make progress in the general education curriculum and advance appropriately toward his or her goals
5
• There are three primary purposes for developing supplementary aids and services as identified above
• Aids and services may be provided in any of the following settings: general education, special education, nonacademic, and extracurricular

Determine Necessity• Determine if supplementary aids or services are
necessary to address the student’s needs identified in the present level section
• To facilitate development of aids and services, the team must consider the student’s unique needs specific to accessing instruction, accommodations to content, environmental adjustments, etc.

In the first column, identify and provide a clear and detailed description of the aid or service
Determine Necessity

• In the second column, identify the time (i.e., minutes/hours), the frequency (e.g., daily, weekly), or under what condition (specific circumstances) that applies to the provision of the aid or service
• It is important to identify the time, frequency, or condition with sufficient detail and measurability to ensure understanding for consistent implementation
Determine Necessity
11
Note: The phrase “as needed” lacks sufficient detail and measurability. Use of the phrase “as needed” will not meet compliance standards.

12
In the third column, identify all locations (e.g., cafeteria, math class, English class, etc.) where the service will be provided
Determine Necessity
13
• The IEP team may find that aids and services can be logically identified under more than one heading
• In this case, the IEP team is to identify the aid or service under the most appropriate heading, as determined by the IEP team
• There is no need to identify the aid or service more than once
Determine Necessity
14
Content Requirements • When developing supplementary aids and
services, it is important that they be written with sufficient description and measurability
• This ensures appropriate access to and progress in the general education curriculum
• Indicate if aids and services are determined not necessary
