La. Admin. Code tit. 28, § CI-101 - Introduction
A. This handbook is
the regulatory guide for pupil appraisal personnel when conducting individual
evaluations of students suspected of being exceptional and in need of special
education and related services, and as a reference for persons requiring
specific information regarding the determination of eligibility for special
education services. The reference to an exceptionality includes any disability
term as well as gifted and talented.
B. The Criteria for Eligibility describes the
minimal data that must be obtained in order to determine whether the student
has an exceptionality and is in need of special education services. The
Procedures for Evaluation specify minimal areas of data collection, and at
times suggest the professional who is usually most qualified to gather and
interpret the data in a certain area. Any deviations from or exceptions to
procedures in this handbook shall be explained in the integrated written
evaluation report.
C. The format has
been revised to more sequentially reflect the steps necessary to determine if
the student's responsiveness to general education interventions is sufficient
to allow him/her to show progress within the general curriculum. If adequate
progress is not evident, the bulletin describes the continuum of actions to be
taken by the LEA through pupil appraisal personnel in determining eligibility
for special education and related services.
D. This revision of Bulletin 1508 includes
hyperlinks that will assist the reader in locating pertinent sections. These
hyperlinks will only be active when the bulletin is viewed on-line at
www.louisianaschools.net or
downloaded to a computer or other electronic device for
viewing.
