Some children in special education programs need education services continued during the summer months or other vacations when school is not in session in order to maintain the skills they have learned as identified on the Individualized Education Program (IEP)*.
This includes related services and assistive technology.
Extended school year programs must be provided if:
- the child is eligible for special education services; and
- the child would regress considerably in identified areas
of the IEP without an extended school year program; and
- the child would require a substantial amount of time, after
school starts, to recoup losses in identified areas of the IEP
due to an extended school break.*Students will be referred for Extended School Year services by
an ARD meeting only based on regression/recoupment data.
