[QUOTE="buddy, post: 587291, member: 12886"] There are states that are trying the three year IEP but usually the iep is a year long document. However, eligibility for Special Education, and the requirement that there is an iep lasts for three years at which point a re-evaluation happens. And as TeDo says, it can always be revised. Summer school for kids on an iep is called esy=extended school year. It is different technically from summer school in that the team has to follow a process to determine if the child will regress beyond typical summer regression, if there is a significant interruption in emerging skills, etc. then the summer program is individualized to say what specific iep goals will be targeted in summer. Reality is that many districts run this as a summer school for monetary sake. The paper work sill has to be done. One frustration I've often had is that they'd group kids who didn't go well together, the teachers for some years were not even certified in the disability area of my son, they sometimes didn't even get a copy of the paper work/iep, much less knowing all the behavior mod and sensory integration strategies he needed. Finally, I just viewed it as summer camp. He kept up social contacts and had some kind of school routine. The school he is in now keeps the same classes so it goes better but last year it added up to 12 days for the whole summer and they were 3.5 hour days. [/QUOTE]
