Discipline Program Assistants and Special Education Program Assistants have been working on establishing a common practice for documenting related services on page F of the IEP. The guidance statements are as follows:
• If the student will be receiving services: Document in a “Support or Related Service” box using “Service with LRE Minutes” and the PT/OT/SS/VI/DI/AU code (assign minutes in the right hand column). This should be used when the direct service provider is listed as one of the positions responsible for a goal and/or responsible for maintaining assistive technology (indicated on goal page).
• If the teacher (or staff) will be receiving services on a regular basis (e.g. specific minutes assigned to the IEP or required check-ins stated): Document in a “Support for School Personnel” box using “Service without LRE minutes” with PT/OT/SS/VI/DI/AU code.
• If the teacher (or staff) will be receiving services on occasional basis (e.g. at teacher request or on a check in basis): Document in a “Support for School Personnel” box using “Activity/Support” with no PT/OT/SS/VI/DI/AU code.
We hope this guidance will clarify expectations and increase internal consistency regarding the expected documentation of related services for all staff. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your Discipline Program Assistant or Special Education Program Assistant for further guidance.
