Special Education Services. The Upper Township School District offers special education services to those students identified as having a disability consistent with Title 6A: Chapter 14 (Special Education) of the New Jersey Administrative Code. District professional staff members, parents/guardians or outside agencies concerned with the academic and/or behavioral performance of a child may refer that child for a Child Study Team evaluation. The referral of a child usually (but not necessarily) follows the implementation of intervention strategies in general education, and evidence that the child has not responded adequately to those interventions. Regular education intervention strategies are typically developed and monitored by each school’s Intervention and Referral Services Committee (I&RS). If a parent chooses to make a direct referral to the Child Study Team, such a request must be in writing and state the nature of the parent’s concern. A member of the Child Study Team will respond to this request by scheduling an identification/evaluation planning meeting within 20 days of receipt of the written request for evaluation. If, after the completion of a Child Study evaluation, it is determined that a child is eligible for special education services, a program is established that will meet the needs of the student in the most appropriate learning environment. An Individual Education Program (IEP) team composed of a Child Study Team member, parent, regular education teacher(s), special education teacher(s), and other personnel (as necessary) shall determine the appropriate program. The school District offers a continuum of services to address the needs of the special education student. These services include providing: accommodation plans for teachers to follow in general education settings; support (teacher or aide) to special education students in general education settings for some portion of the school day; instructional services in special education classrooms for subject areas where the student is demonstrating considerable weakness; and instructional services primarily in special education classrooms to address significant learning and/or developmental areas. The school District also utilizes out-of-District public and private schools to service students with specific needs that are better addressed in specialized settings. The school District provides speech and language therapy, occupational therapy and physical therapy to students who have been found to be eligible for special education services and are demonstrating that a weakness exists, and that this weakness is affecting their performance and/or participation in school.
