Extended School Year services (ESY): Why you need to plan for the summer now
If you're raising a child with an IEP and an identification of a Serious Emotional Disturbance, Autism or a few others you'll want to make sure you have a meeting to discuss ESY services for your child in February. We cover all the important points and why you can still have a conversation even if your child isn't in one of those special classification. Join us to learn more!

As always the team at PaTTAN has excellent resources to help us understand this service. Check them out here: https://www.pattan.net/publications/teachers-desk-reference-extended-school-year-esy/ https://www.pattan.net/videos/extended-school-year-esy/
Questions an IEP team could consider regarding the need for ESY:
- Documented problems with working memory from assessments
- Demonstrated need for constant reinforcement over time, even during the regular instructional day/year
- History from a previous year of losing skills and struggling to regain them after a school break
- Need for constant reinforcement of a behavior support program when a student is at risk of being moved to a more restrictive environment without substantial progress around behavior
