RE:  2008-09 Coordinated Early Intervening Services

Enclosed you will find the Coordinated Early Intervening Services Collection form and instructions.  The form collects information for the 2008-09 school year, and is due no later than October 1, 2009.  These documents can also be found on the ODE web site at http://www.ode.state.or.us/search/page/?=1743.

This is a requirement of IDEA 2004.  All districts and agencies using IDEA funds must report annually to the state (a) the number of students who received Coordinated Early Intervening Services, and (b) the number who received Coordinated Early Intervening Services and subsequently received special education and related services during the two year period after receiving Coordinated Early Intervening Services.  This information could change based on the recently released federal regulations.

If you have any questions regarding this form, please direct them to Trish Lutgen at trish.lutgen at state.or.us<mailto:trish.lutgen at state.or.us> or 503-947-5798.

If you have any difficulty opening the attached documents, please contact Laura Allran at laura.allran at state.or.us<mailto:heidi.schulze at state.or.us> or 503-947-5674.

RE:      Expansion of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) New Specialist Training

A new professional development offer is being presented to those of you who are not being funded for regional autism services as well as to those of you who are.  I am pleased to announce the expansion of the ASD New Specialist Training which will be provided through funding from the American Reinvestment Recovery Act (ARRA).  These trainings will be offered to New ASD Specialists employed by the ASD Regional Programs and for New ASD Specialists hired by districts not currently using ASD Regional Program services. New ASD Specialists in districts not currently receiving ASD Regional service may be eligible for substitute costs or other incentives.

The ASD New Specialist Training is a 14-day training series offered throughout the school year and is based on competencies identified for ASD Regional Specialists.

The following specialists may be eligible to participate in the training series (not in order of priority):
1.      New ASD Specialist hired by the ASD Regional Program.
2.      New ASD Specialist hired by the District, receiving flow-through dollars from the regional program, and collaborates in providing Regional ASD services.
3.      New ASD Specialist hired by District not receiving ASD Regional Program Services and demonstrates the following:
*       TSPC licensed in Special Education, Speech Language Pathology (or equivalent), or School Psychology,
*       A minimum of .5 FTE is dedicated to district ASD services,
*       Served in the position less than 2 years and has not previously participated in the ASD New Specialist training, and
*       Committed to attend all trainings, participate in activities, and share information with other District staff.

We look forward to this effort to benefit all districts in our effort to expand the quality of services for students eligible for special education under the ASD disability category. For more information concerning this project, please contact Marilyn Gense at marilyn.gense at wesd.org<mailto:marilyn.gense at wesd.org>.

Do not hesitate to contact me should you need further clarification.
