La. Admin. Code tit. 28 § CI-1301

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

Section CI-1301 - Overview

A.Special services as used in this chapter are included in the term special education, which means specially designed instruction, at no cost to the parents, to meet the unique needs of a student with a disability, including instruction conducted in the classroom, in the home, in hospitals and institutions, and in other settings. They include assistive technology when required as part of the student's special education; instruction in physical education (including special physical education, adapted physical education, movement education, and motor development); speech/language pathology services when the service is considered special education rather than a related service; travel training; and vocational education.

1.At no cost means that all specially-designed instruction is provided without charge, but does not preclude incidental fees that are normally charged to nondisabled students or to their parents as a part of the regular education program.

2.Specially-designed instruction means adapting, as appropriate, to the needs of an eligible student, the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to address the unique needs of the student that result from the student's disability; and ensuring access of the student to the general curriculum, so that he or she can meet the educational standards within the jurisdiction of the LEA that apply to all students.

B. Specific criteria for eligibility for adapted physical education and assistive technology are immediately following this overview. Eligibility criteria for other special services are based on written documentation of need. When specific criteria to determine eligibility for other special services become necessary, they will be added to the document.
