C. The IEP team shall also include a statement of the anticipated frequency and duration for the services and modifications.
D. If it is determined that additional personnel support is required, the IEP team should periodically review the effectiveness of this additional support. A systematic, written plan needs to address how additional personnel support will be monitored. E. For services requiring additional personnel support as a result of a student’s behavioral difficulties, th e 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. F. 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 teacher 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. G. When a need for additional support is due to medical need, a specialized health care plan will need to be developed. (Utilize D/M SELPA Form 93, 94, and 95, as appropriate) H. When temporary intensive supports in the form of personnel are being considered for a specific student, a LEA representative shall be required to participate in the decision-making process of the IEP meeting.
