May Sped Staff Participate in the General Education Intervention Process Without Jeopardizing Sped Funding?


According to South Carolina's Office of Exceptional Children Policies and Procedures released April 6, 2009, questions often arise about who can work with a student to provide what type of support at what point in the general education intervention process and how that fits with funding restrictions. It is the responsibility of both general and special educators to carry out general education intervention. Further, because child find is required by special education law, it is expectd that spcial educators will support carrying out general education intervention. This may include special educators providing such things as assisting in collecting student data, participating in the analyses of data to determine next steps, and the provision of interventions.
