Or. Admin. R. 581-015-2855 - Extended Year Services for ECSE
(1) Contractors and subcontractors must
ensure that extended year services are available as necessary to provide a free
appropriate public education to children eligible for ECSE services.
(2) Extended year services must be provided
only if the child's IFSP team determines, on an individual basis, in accordance
with OAR 581-015-2755 and 581-015-2810 through 581-015-2830, that services are
necessary for the provision of free appropriate public education to the
child.
(3) A contractor or
subcontractor may not:
(a) Limit extended
year services to particular categories of disability; or
(b) Unilaterally limit the type, amount, or
duration of those services.

for extended year services. The criteria must include:

the team.

recovery of skills or behaviors specified on the IFSP to a level demonstrated
before the interruption of education services.

year of the contractor or subcontractor;
