GRAPEVINE BRIGHT IDEAS GRAND RAPIDS AUTISM PROGRAM Physical Education for Students with Disabilities WHAT IS IT? IDEA '97 and The Michigan Special Education Rules and Regulations, require that each IEPT address Physical Education (PE) for every special education student. In Grand Rapids, PE is required for all students K-8 and for 3 semesters of high school. Preschool students would not have PE, but would have a gross motor component in their program that would address physical needs and development. For students in a center-based program, the age equivalents would be 6 through 16. If students have met the school district requirement for PE, PE must still be considered at the student's IEP, if the team determines that the student would benefit from additional PE beyond the district requirement. A difference between Adaptive PE and Specially Designed PE is in who provides the service: Specially Designed PE can be provided by staff other than an Adaptive PE teacher (General Ed. PE teacher, special education teacher or aide with Adaptive PE consultation), and Adaptive PE must be provided by an Adaptive PE Teacher. Another difference is in the goals on the IEP. If the student needs motor movement goals and they couldn't be met in Specially Designed PE, they need Adaptive PE. In Adaptive PE, their goals must be reported by the classroom teacher or PT, in consultation with the Adaptive PE Teacher. In Specially designed PE, the student's goals may be social, emotional or behavioral.

3. Specially Designed Physical Education therapist or the special education teacher. We currently provide this with the adaptive pe teacher. The IEP goals do not have to be physical needs but rather http://www.grps.k12.mi.us/~autism/pe.spml

Special Students Sometimes Need Specially Designed Physical Education At every IEP, we talk about the need for specially designed physical education. IDEA '97 requires us to start with the expectation that the student is educated in the general education curriculum and then explain why that may not be appropriate for those students who can't participate in general education physical education. The choices to consider are: General education physical education Specially designed physical education Adaptive Physical Education No physical education Some students in the autism program participate only in general education physical education. Their needs can be met in this setting. Many students in the autism program require specially designed physical education. This specially designed PE class can be provided by the general education physical education teacher with consultation from the adaptive PE teacher or a physical therapist or the special education teacher. We currently provide this with the adaptive PE teacher. The IEP goals do not have to be physical needs but rather the social or emotional goals of the student may be sufficient. Some students in the autism program need adaptive PE with physical goals on their IEP. These students may have balance or strength problems, for example. The adaptive PE teacher provides this class.

SPECIAL SERVICES Special Services SPECIAL SERVICES I. Summary This chapter focuses on ELs identified as needing services in the areas of Special Education, GATE/Accelerated Learning, and Title I. It is recognized that there are many other special needs of students attending Fresno Unified School District, and while addressing the needs of the three areas listed above, encouragement is given to administrators, teachers, and parents to always strive for the most appropriate education and services for the students involved. (Baca 1989) II. Descriptions of Special Needs A. Eligibility Criteria for Special Education Services Students identified as needing special services require different and distinctive educational opportunities with specially trained personnel that will help the child reach his or her full potential. When making a recommendation of services for special education, a student must require these services in order to meet state eligibility criteria which include the following: B.

How We Teach Language Arts/Reading A. Teachers, working in grade level teams, plan curriculum calendars to pace instruction of skills and events. The Open Court text is a key teacher resource. B. Students are grouped heterogeneously in their classrooms. During Language Arts instruction, teachers group students according to skills needs from their day-to-day observation of student work and informal assessments. C. Students at risk of retention (and additional Title I students) receive a power boost of instruction before or after school. The program utilized is Open Court Intervention. D. Teachers provide students with a broad array of fiction and nonfiction leveled readers. Friendly baskets are in some K-3 classrooms to assure that students choose texts at their independent level during their free reading time. E. A reading assessment is administered Fall and Spring to 1st-5th grade students. F. Teachers are building classroom libraries with the help of donations and classroom library monies.

STANDARDS, ASSESSMENTS AND ACCOUNTABILITY: STUDENT ASSESSMENT Describe how the school and district examine assessment results at the school and classroom levels to ensure progress in student achievement using examples in Language Arts and mathematics. Describe your methods of student assessment, how they are aligned with your standards, and how you use disaggregated assessment results to demonstrate how well students are meeting your standards. Show how teachers use assessment information to modify curriculum and instruction to improve student achievement. Describe how students are involved in the analysis of their own work. Describe how the progress of special needs students is assessed including English language learners. "In the staff lounge, I see teachers huddled together before the school day begins, discussing a variety of shared issues. A big concern over the years has been assessments. Through a community effort, and as a result of our Program Quality Review (PQR) process last year, we have developed meaningful assessments of student progress and new report cards based on the California state standards. After-school tutoring began this year to give each child the necessary help to achieve the standards. Daily, I see testing in various classrooms, and I see the proud faces of the students as they make steady progress." Our teachers use these assessment results to develop meaningful and individualized lessons in the core curriculum. In bi-monthly grade-level team meetings, teachers share student work to cooperatively determine what students know. The team then decides together what the next teaching steps should be. Teachers share alternative assessment strategies to ensure the successful progress of all students. These multiple measures include:

Determine Need What is ARD Referral Process Pre-Kindergarten ... What's so Special How do you determine if a child needs special education services? To receive special education services, a child must meet specific criteria by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the Texas Education Agency (TEA). A parent, teachers, or administrator may recommend a student for consideration for special education services by contacting the school counselor. What exactly is the " ARD " Committee? ARD is an acronym for Admission, Review and Dismissal committee. This committee, which includes the parent, administrator, teacher and other staff familiar with the student's needs, makes decisions concerning the educational program/services of a student referred to or receiving special education support. What is the referral process for Special Education? The School Wide Assistance Team (SWAT) meets on each campus to consider the individual needs of students. Students may be referred to the SWAT by an administrator, classroom teacher, counselor or parent. In addition to special education, the SWAT considers referrals for supportive counseling, crisis intervention, Talented and Gifted, English as a Second Language, Americans with Disabilities Act eligibility and accommodations. The SWAT also may refer students for a special education evaluation. The SWAT is designed to comply with the requirements of Title II of the ADA.
