PLANNING AND PROVIDING SPED SERVICES

We can determine the effectiveness of special education by the independence level of


students with disabilities can attain in normalized settings. Because they need more time to
master skills, and instructions must be both effective and efficient. For students to achieve
mastery, teachers must use the data from the direct assessments to carefully plan and sequence
the instructions. Constant monitoring of progress is needed to determine the extent to which
instruction is effective and allows the teachers to make timely instructional decisions.
Local educational agencies may spend a portion of IDEA money for prereferral, even
though prereferral intervention is not required by IDEA. The intended function of prereferral
intervention is to provide early intervening services, in the form of scientifically validated
instruction, for students who have not been identified as needing special education or related
services but who need additional academic and behavioral support to succeed in general
education environments. In general education classrooms, prereferral teams assist teachers in
developing and implementing interventions for children who are having behavioral or academic
issues. The goal of prereferral intervention is to lessen the number of instances in which children
with academic or behavioral issues are classified as needing special education rather than having
a disability.
The basis of identification and classification for special education should be on the
presence of a disabling condition that adversely affects the student. Disproportionate
representation is a problem if it means students have been wrongly placed in special education
programs that deny them appropriate educational interventions that match their full learning
capacities, stigmatize them, or segregate them. It is also problematic if students with disabilities
are overlooked because of their membership in a racial or ethnic minority group resulting in their
being denied access to needed special education. The field needs to actively address and resist if
the special education planning and placement process involves cultural and racial bias,
The practice of incorporating students with disabilities into the social and academic
aspects of neighborhood schools and general education classrooms is known as inclusion.
Research has indicated that inclusive education, when designed and executed with care, can
work successfully for students of all ages and abilities. Collaboration and teamwork are essential
for the success of an inclusive placement. Experts with extensive training in inclusive methods
can collaborate to address behavior and learning issues, provide suitable learning environments,
track students' progress, and provide efficient instruction.
