Can ESY Include Support for a New Communication Device?


Can ESY help your child learn to use a new communication device?

Karen discusses an important question about Extended School Year (ESY) services and assistive technology.

ESY often focuses on maintaining skills and preventing significant loss of progress, but eligibility and services must be based on each child's individual needs.

For students using communication devices, the IEP team should consider what instruction, practice, and support are necessary during the summer.
