Extended School Year Services

·14 min·1 clip
Your school district cannot have a policy refusing to provide extended school year services, as it's part of your child's legal right to FAPE.
This episode of the Family Matters podcast explains Extended School Year (ESY) services for children with disabilities, clarifying that these are distinct from summer school and are part of a student's IEP rights under IDEA. The host details how to determine eligibility based on regression data, addresses common questions about district policies, and provides examples of how ESY can be creatively implemented.
