ESY isn't just summer school. So what's the PURPOSE?
Karen breaks down why Extended School Year (ESY) services must be based on your child's individual needs—not simply on what summer programs a district happens to offer.
ESY often focuses on maintaining critical skills and preventing significant regression, but eligibility and services must be determined individually.
Before agreeing to an ESY program, ask: What specific IEP needs will this address, and how will the services support my child?
Because every service should have a purpose!
