Procedure – Category 5000 (Students) AR 5005.2 – Temporary Intensive Supports Assessment (TISA)
5. For services requiring additional personnel support as a result of a student’s behavioral difficulties, the student’s IEP needs to include appropriate goals. In addition, a Behavioral Intervention Plan (BIP) should be developed in accordance with Sections 3001 and 3052 in Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) . The BIP needs to include a provision describing how and when support, including personnel, will be utilized to implement the plan, and when the plan will be reviewed and modified. 6. When determining the need for additional personnel support due to an instructional need, the IEP team must utilize appropriate assessment information to support this recommendation. The written plan must be developed by the IEP team in collaboration with a general and special education teachers specifying how the additional personnel will be utilized to support the teacher in implementing the student’s goals and objectives and what attempts will be made to transition other available classroom resources and supports. 7. When a need for additional support is due to medical need, a specialized health care plan will need to be developed (Utilize DM SELPA form 93, 94, and 95, as appropriate). 8. When temporary intensive supports in the form of personnel are being considered for a specific student, a Charter LEA representative shall be required to participate in the decision-making process of the IEP team meeting. 6.0 Procedures for Requesting Temporary Intensive Supports Assessment (TISA) Temporary intensive supports may be provided for students with disabilities when additional support is necessary to the student in order to meet his or her goals and to benefit educationally. Whenever possible, additional assistance is assigned to a school environment, class, or case manager. Occasionally, however, a student requires individual support for a designated period of time to address a unique need. By law, services to students with special needs must be delivered in the “least restrictive environment.” When the IEP team is considering a temporary intensive support, all aspects of the student’s program must be considered. A request for Temporary Intensive Supports Assessment (TISA) is made only after other site interventions have proven to be ineffective. A student’s educational program must be carefully evaluated to determine when and where the additional support is required. Additionally, the IEP team must plan for periodic reviews to assess the continued need for this type of individualized assistance. It is expected that students enrolling in a nonpublic school (NPS) will not require temporary intensive supports. For students currently in NPS, if the need for temporary intensive supports becomes evident, the NPS should contact the student’s Charter LEA of
