The anticipated duration of the services. A paraprofessional's service may be discontinued when specific skills are accomplished, when levels of independence have been achieved, or when specific conditions are met. The location or setting where the services of the paraprofessional are to be delivered. Physical education also needs to be considered by the IEP Team. The IEP needs to document the student's participation in physical education.
Most students are able to participate in physical education in the general curriculum.
If specially designed physical education is prescribed in a child's IEP, the public agency responsible for the education of that child shall provide the services directly, or make arrangements for those services to be provided through other public or private programs. Vocational education is another consideration for the IEP Team. The team, as a part of general education, needs to address any modifications to vocational education. Vocational education means organized educational programs that are directly related to the preparation of individuals for paid or unpaid employment or for additional preparation for a career requiring other than a baccalaureate or advanced degree. The IEP must consider the team's decision regarding the least restrictive environment for the child.
