Introduction The purpose of this section is to provide Charter Local Education Agency (LEA) personnel information and guidance in determining a student’s need for temporary intensive supports. A recommendation for temporary intensive supports is a significant programmatic decision and one that should only be made after a comprehensive discussion of other options considered and clear documentation of as to why those options are not appropriate. While some students may need temporary intensive supports to receive a free appropriate public education (FAPE), for other students, the assignment of such supports may be unnecessary and inappropriately restrictive. A goal for all students with disabilities is to promote and maximize independence. Charter LEAs are responsible for developing and implementing individualized education programs (IEPs) that promote such independence. When an IEP team determines that a student needs temporary intensive supports, it should always be considered a time-limited recommendation and specific conditions/goals must be established to fade the use of such supports.
