[quote=Anonymous]Diagnosis is one prong of the test. You also need to show an adverse impact on the ability to access the curriculum along with a need for services. Yes the rules apply in the summer. But think about what you want to accomplish and what is the best way to accomplish it. A crappy IEP developed over the summer is probably worse than a great one developed in October.

I’ve done summer IEP work for my kid twice. First was to get evals completed. That didn’t require any input from teachers or school staff. The second was to complete touring for a nonmainstream placement and making decisions on which placement it would be and all of the relevant people worked over the summer. But I don’t think I would have developed a plan like you are seeking. In fact, IMO, end of September or beginning of October is the best time to start. Kids have been in the class long enough to have settled in. Out of the norm behaviors and deficits have been identified through both the beginning of the year assessments and observations by those that will be working with your child. It’s not a race and undoing a bad plan takes time and causes it’s own level of damage.
