I & RS

The Intervention & Referral Services Team provides aid to students in the general education

program.

All assistance such as pull-out Basic Skills Instruction,  push-in academic support,

Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Counseling and Social Skills

programming/plans may only be implemented through I&RS/504 Committee procedures.  

It is the first step or alternative to referring students for special services through the Child Study Team.  

Section 504 Plans may be developed based upon a child's medical diagnosis inhibiting his/her learning. 

 

Who Does the I&RS Process Benefit?

The learning, behavior, and health issues presented to the I&RS/504 Team must in some way be related to the educational process.  This process and structure has been designed to provide assistance to school personnel who may be experiencing difficulty with a student(s) and could benefit from reviewing the problem through a collaborative I&RS Team process.  Utimately, the I&RS process serves to benefit the student in question.
