The Continuum of
Services
|
|
The Tulsa Public School District provides a wide continuum of
service delivery models to meet the educational needs of all
students with disabilities. The Individualized Education
Program (IEP) Team should consider the least restrictive
environment when determining placement options. All placement
models must also address supplementary aids and services,
modifications, supports and related services required for the
student to successfully access an appropriate education. The
following service delivery models are listed from the least
restrictive to the most restrictive learning environments.
|
|
Regular Classes Full-Time |
|
The IEP is implemented in the regular educational environment
with consultation and monitoring services by a special education
teacher. This may include some resource room instruction or
related service outside the classroom for less than 21% of a
child's full school day.
|
|
Special Classes Part-Time |
|
The IEP is implemented in an environment other than the
regular classroom for 21 to 60% of the school day. It must also
address supplementary aids and services, modifications, supports
and related services delivered in the regular classroom. |
|
Special Classes Full-Time |
|
The IEP is implemented in a special class environment
full-time for more than 60% of a child's full school day. The
team must consider the child's opportunities for inclusion in
nonacademic and extracurricular services offered to nondisabled
children. |
|
Special Schools |
|
Implementation of the IEP requires placement in a special day
school program at a location other than the regular school
setting. |
|
Home Instruction |
|
The IEP specifies that the needs of the child require that
instruction be provided in the home environment. The special
education and related services are supervised and delivered by
appropriately qualified personnel. Frequency and duration of
services are determined by the IEP team on an individual basis. |
|
Instruction in Hospitals |
|
Implementation of the IEP requires instruction in a hospital
setting. The frequency and duration of services are determined
by the team based on the individual needs of the child, and are
delivered by appropriately qualified personnel. |
|
Instruction in Other Settings |
|
The IEP requires implementation in nontraditional and
alternative settings such as an alternative education program. |
|
Instruction in Institutions or Residential Facility |
The IEP requires implementation in a residential institution
or other residential care facility.
