IDEA Changes Implemented in New York

Changes to the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA),

now require all states to ensure that the school district where the nonpublic school is 

located will now be responsible for special education services for your child, including 

individual evaluations, Committee on Special Education (CSE) meetings and development of an individualized education services program (IESP). An IESP must be developed in the same manner and with the same contents as an Individualized Education Program (IEP).  It is called an IESP to distinguish it from the IEP that would be developed if you were to reenroll your child in the public school district where you live.
