Completing the IEP: Special Transportation/Placement Recommendation section

Each student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) is comprised of many sections. The Special Transportation/Placement Recommendation section appears on all IEPs for all students.

This section identifies whether special transportation or accommodations must be made for the student. It also identifies the type of placement that is recommended for the student, such as a community school, a specialized public school, a state-approved non-public school, a charter school or a day treatment center.

Note: If a day treatment center is selected, the student must have a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) acceptance letter.

To complete the Special Transportation/Placement Recommendation section of the IEP 

1. Locate the student's documents.
   How?

3. From the Actions bar, click the Select drop-down () icon.
   
   
4. From the pop-up menu,  click Special Transportation/Placement Recommendation.
   
   The placement recommendation section of the IEP appears.
   
   
5. Indicate whether specialized transportation is needed or not.
   
   Important: If specialized transportation is not needed, note the following on the Present Levels of Performance Section:
   
   
   • Do not mark Yes next to Does the child have Limited Mobility?
     
     
   • Do not mark Yes next to Does the child need a wheelchair?
     
     
   • Do not mark Yes next to Does the child use walking aides?
   
   If any of these fields are marked Yes, SESIS will automatically indicate that the student needs specialized transportation.
   
   
6. If specialized transportation is needed, indicate what accommodations are needed.
   
   Important: Adult Supervision - Paraprofessional can only be selected if you also choose Paraprofessional on the Recommended Special Education Programs/Services section.
   
   Note: Certain accommodations (such as air conditioning or limited travel time) should be approved by the DOHMH physician. If an approved OSH Physician Review form has not already been faxed into SESIS using the appropriate fax coversheet, SESIS will provide a workflow prompt to remind you to have the request approved.


Note: If the student is recommended for Other Accommodations Carry/Porter Services, a Building Identification Number (BIN) is required. Look up the BIN online at: http://www.nyc.gov/html/nycha/downloads/pdf/pg_address.pdf
