Overiew:
Guidelines for Speech and Language Programs: Determining Eligibility for Speech and Language Services Under IDEA is designed to facilitate the implementation of consistent practices in Connecticut for determining children’s eligibility for speech and language services as special education or as a related service. These practices focus on four major areas: early intervening services, evaluation procedures, documentation and Planning and Placement Team (PPT) decisions about eligibility. This publication is the revised edition of Guidelines for Speech and Language Programs: Volume II: Determining Eligibility for Special Education Speech and Language Services, which was published as a working draft in 1999. This edition includes revisions required by the reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (called the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act, 2004) and its accompanying regulations (as amended in 2006), as well as amendments to Connecticut special education statutes and regulations. This updated document also reflects feedback and recommendations received by the Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) from school-based speech and language pathologists (SLPs), school administrators and faculty at the state’s university training programs in speech and language pathology.
