[QUOTE="babybear, post: 33298, member: 2712"] My difficult child had esy services this past summer specifically for behavior challenges. I can't say i've been impressed with the program that she had...not really the right program for her...but it has been of some benefit. I have copied the esy portion from sheila's smart IEP post below. At the end is the link they mentioned from the website. From Pete: You say "some large schools with over 1,000 students say that they don't have any children who qualify for ESY." How can this be true? It isn't true! Extended School Year Services (ESY) Schools often fight huge battles to avoid providing ESY services. Many school staff don't seem to know what the law requires for Extended School Year services. The law requires that schools provide children with the educational services they need - not what is convenient for school administrators. Children with learning disabilities need repetition - they don't get repetition when schools take long breaks - holiday breaks, fall breaks, spring breaks, summer breaks. The Reusch v. Fountain case posted on our website does a good job of explaining the standards and requirements for ESY. That case was decided in 1994 but many schools are still trying to get out of providing ESY. esy [/QUOTE]
