supplementary aids and services

Students with disabilities have the right to an equal opportunity to participate in extracurricular activities (e.g., athletics, school clubs, community education classes). The law does not require that a student with a disability be allowed to participate in any selective or competitive program offered by a school district, so long as the selection or competition criteria are not discriminatory.

Activities offered through the district and community education are included in this discussion. To determine if supplementary aids and services are needed to provide a student with an equal opportunity for access, utilize the Extracurricular and Nonacademic Support Decision Flowchart.

When this area is reviewed during the IEP meeting, discuss additional supports and training necessary for staff to work successfully with the student. 

Examples: School staff will be provided information regarding the student’s disability. 

"A related service provider in [area] will provide technical/programmatic support for XXX's curriculum, instruction, and progress monitoring when the IEP team determines that additional consultation is needed for XXX to progress on his/her IEP goal(s)."
