Special Education Section 504 Homebound RtI/MTSS Emergent Bilingual Gifted and Talented Homeless/McKinney-Vento Act Dyslexia Special Education Cayuga ISD participates in the *Anderson County Special Education Cooperative (ACSEC) to provide special education services to students who qualify under the Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA). To qualify for services under IDEA, students must first undergo a Full and Individual Initial Evaluation (FIIE), a process that involves cognitive and achievement testing administered at the school by an educational diagnostician. School staff are required to monitor the progress of all students and initiate an FIIE when a qualifying condition under IDEA is suspected. However, if a parent suspects his or her child has a disability that impacts the child’s learning, a parent-written request for a Full and Individual Initial Evaluation (FIIE) to the campus principal, the child’s teacher, or the district special programs coordinator can be made. Once an FIIE is initiated by school personnel or by written request from the parent, the ACSEC is immediately notified and evaluation personnel proceed within *mandated timelines to conduct the FIIE. For more information about special education services in the school setting and to access numerous parent and family resources, visit SPEDTex.org . Homebound In some cases, students suffer from an illness or injury that causes excessive absences. The Student Attendance Accounting Handbook (SAAH) and Board Policy EEH (LOCAL) provide procedures for facilitating a homebound educational experience in such situations. The parent or guardian of a student who may become confined at home or hospital bedside for a minimum of four weeks as a result of an accident or illness should contact the child’s campus principal and/or the 504 Coordinator to schedule an initial evaluation meeting to determine whether or not homebound services can be considered. Section 504 To qualify for services under Section 504, a student must be determined to: have a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities; or have a record of such an impairment; or be regarded as having such an impairment. Consideration for a Section 504 Plan with accommodations can be initiated by school personnel or by the parent and should be requested in writing to the campus Principal, Counselor, or the Special Programs Coordinator. Once the request is received, a committee meeting, consisting of those who have insight into how the child’s impairment affects him/her in the educational setting, will convene. Based on a review of school and/or medical records and teacher/ parent input, the committee will determine if a plan consisting of accommodations is required in order for the student to access and benefit from learning opportunities commiserate with his/her non-disabled peers. The *504 Guide published on the Texas Education Agency website, is a great resource for more detailed information on Section 504 Services in the school setting. Response to Intervention/ Multi-Tiered System of Support Multi-Tiered System of Supports or MTSS , encompasses support for a child in the classroom and takes into account academic, behavioral, and social/emotional needs. Response to Intervention, or RtI , is a tiered process within MTSS , used for the early identification and support of students with academic, behavioral and social emotional needs. The RTI process begins with high-quality instruction and universal screening of all children in the general education classroom. Struggling students are provided with interventions at increasing levels of intensity to accelerate their rate of learning. Progress is closely monitored by a team of educators familiar with the child’s educational experiences, the RtI committee. Decisions about the intensity and duration of interventions are based on individual student’s response to instruction and reviewed through the RtI committee on each campus. For more information about RtI/MTSS, you may contact your campus principal or the district special programs coordinator or visit TEA Response to Intervention Emergent Bilingual Emergent Bilingual (EB) services provide support to students who are identified as English Language Learners based on information provided on the student’s Home Language Survey, which is completed as part of a child's initial school enrollment documentation.
