Special Factors
For some students, special factors may prevent a student from performing certain tasks. This section guides you through these special factors to consider, such as whether a student needs assistive technology or a behavioral intervention plan. Considerations and recommendations in this area should be driven by the student’s needs in the Present Level of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP).
Some students with disabilities require special ways of handing educational opportunities. For example, a blind student might need Braille books; a deaf student may need an interpreter.
This section asks the case manager to consider any special considerations for the student. Before anything is entered all factors are "not considered". Use the Edit button to consider the items required and any others that apply.
Once the required options have been considered, the screen will show the areas considered and the areas not considered. Note: the status column can be sorted. If an area needs to be removed from consideration, select the delete icon.
