As always the team at PaTTAN has excellent resources to help us understand this service. Check them out here: https://www.pattan.net/publications/teachers-desk-reference-extended-school-year-esy/ https://www.pattan.net/videos/extended-school-year-esy/

Questions an IEP team could consider regarding the need for ESY:

Documented problems with working memory from assessments
Demonstrated need for constant reinforcement over time, even during the regular instructional day/year
History from a previous year of losing skills and struggling to regain them after a school break
Need for constant reinforcement of a behavior support program when a student is at risk of being moved to a more restrictive environment without substantial progress around behavior

For one on one support at no cost to parents of children with behavior and mental health challenges in PA visit: https://www.paparentandfamilyalliance.org/one-on-one-help
