The director of special education will reconvene the IEP team to review the report findings and recommendations of the assessment and determine whether or not behavioral intervention supports/services are warranted. The IEP meeting will be scheduled within the 60-day timeline. If the IEP team agrees that services are not needed, it will be documented in the IEP notes. Timeline for Services If the IEP team agrees that services are appropriate, the goals and services will be listed on an Addendum to the IEP including the service code number 535 for behavioral intervention services and/or supervision, the class number for each service, provider code for the NPA (400), projected start date, duration, and frequency. The Addendum should be forwarded to the Program Manager for Resolution Support Services at the SELPA. Within five business days of receipt of the Addendum to the IEP, the Program Manager for Resolution Support Services at the SELPA will develop an ISA and forward it to the appropriate NPA for signature who will then initiate services.
