Or. Admin. R. 581-015-2820 - IFSP Team Consideration and Special Factors
(1) In developing, reviewing and revising the
child's IFSP, the IFSP team must consider:
(a)
The strengths of the child and the concerns of the parents for enhancing the
development of their child; and
(b)
The results of the initial or most recent evaluation of the child;
and
(c) For a child age three and
older, the academic, developmental and functional needs of the child.
(2) For children age three and
older, in developing, reviewing and revising the child's IFSP the IFSP team
must consider the following special factors:
(a) The communication needs of the child;
and
(b) Whether the child requires
assistive technology devices and services.
(3) For children age three and older, in
developing, reviewing and revising the IFSP of children described below, the
IFSP team must consider the following additional special factors:
(a) For a child whose behavior impedes his or
her development or that of others, consider strategies, positive behavioral
interventions and supports to address that behavior;
(b) For a child or family with limited
English proficiency, consider the language needs of the child and the family as
those needs relate to the child's IFSP;
(c) For a child who is blind or visually
impaired, instruct the child in pre-literacy or readiness activities related to
the use of Braille unless the IFSP determines, after an evaluation of the
child, that this instruction is not appropriate for the child;
(d) For a child who is deaf or hard of
hearing, consider the child's language and communication needs, including
developmental level, full range of needs, and opportunities for direct
instruction and direct communications with peers and professional personnel in
the child's language and communication mode.
(4) If, in considering these special factors,
the IFSP team determines that a child needs a particular device or service
(including intervention, accommodation or other program modification) for the
child to receive free appropriate public education, the IFSP team must include
a statement to that effect in the child's IFSP.
(5) Nothing in OAR 581-015-2815 or this rule
may be construed to require the IFSP team to include information under one
component of a child's IFSP that is already contained under another component
of the child's IFSP.
