Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. The IEP team
				discusses all pertinent criterion/criteria that the student may qualify for
				ESYP. The team identifies at least one of criterion as a possible area under
				which the student may need ESYP. Below are some guidelines to guide this
				decision.
1. Regression-Recoupment Criterion
				should be considered for any student expected to have a problem with recoupment
				of skills. A regression-recoupment problem exists if following breaks in
				instruction there is a pattern of regression without timely recoupment in the
				performance of objectives most essential to the student's overall functioning.
				The Regression Recoupment Criterion may be used for any student receiving
				special education services but must be used for students classified with
				moderately mentally disabled, severely mentally disabled, profoundly mentally
				disabled, deaf blind, autism, multi-disabled, traumatic brain injury, and
				preschool students with disabilities.
2. Critical Point of Instruction (CPI) 1
				criterion should be considered for students for which there is reason to
				suspect that there will be a loss of general education class(es)/time or
				increase in special education service time because of a lack of academic or
				social skill development.
3.
				Critical Point of Instruction (CPI) 2 criterion should be considered for
				students for which there is reason to suspect that there will be a loss of
				significant progress made toward the acquisition and/or maintenance of a
				critical self-help, community access, or social/behavioral skill.
NOTE: CPI (1 and/or 2) is typically selected by default if
				  the team does not suspect a need for ESYP along any of the other criterion. The
				  teacher/instructional team is not prohibited from reviewing student performance
				  (i.e., screening) for CPI or other criterion that were not originally
				  targeted.
4. Self-Injurious
				behavior criterion should be considered for students who exhibit self-injurious
				behavior that is persistent, regular, and continuous.
5. Employment criterion should be considered
				for students who are 16-21 years old and who are engaged in or expected to have
				paid employment prior to the ESYP screening date.
6. Transition criterion should be considered
				for students who have a transition services plan and who are expected to exit
				the local education agency at the end of the school year.
7. Excessive absences criterion should be
				applied to students expected to have documented absences in excess of 25 days
				without the provision of hospital/homebound services because of a diagnosed
				health condition and as a result is expected to fail to make projected
				progress. It may not be possible to anticipate these conditions but this
				criterion should be considered during screening for students with 25 or more
				absences.
8. Late entry criterion
				should be applied to students who enter special education after January 1st
				(but prior to the ESYP screening date)
9. All applicable criterion/criteria must be
				checked in the ESY block on the IEP.
