The Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network is an initiative of the Pennsylvania
Department of Education working in partnership with families and
local education agencies to support programs and services to
improve student learning and achievement.

PDE’s Commitment to Least Restrictive Environment (LRE)
Our goal for each child is to ensure IEP teams begin with the general education setting
with the use of supplementary aids and
services before considering a more restrictive environment.

Intensive Interagency Initiative
• Pursuant to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 20 U.S.C. §1401, et seq. , and the litigation known as Cordero v. Commonwealth, the Department has developed a system for providing intensive interagency coordination to students with disabilities whose school districts have determined that they cannot be appropriately educated in a public educational setting
and…• Have waited more than 30 days for the provision of
an appropriate educational placement. This system is also aimed at providing assistance to students who are at substantial risk of waiting more than 30 days for an appropriate educational placement.

Local Level Coordination
• The system of intensive interagency coordination is not intended to replace the local interagency process.
• In the vast majority of situations requiring interagency efforts, local IEP and Interagency teams do not require additional assistance to assure the provision of appropriate educational programs and placements for the students they serve.
![Page 9: Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network Intensive Interagency, Homebound Instruction and Instruction Conducted in the Home December, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd89c550346b9588b58fa/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
IU and PaTTAN Technical Assistance
• IU Consultants and PaTTAN regional consultants collaborate with other child-serving agencies to provide intensive interagency coordination to students with disabilities that…
• School Districts have determined that they cannot be appropriately educated in a public educational setting and who have waited more than 30 days for the provision of an appropriate educational placement.

What does Technical Assistance require?
• Directly support collaboration between educators and other child-serving agencies in partnership with families
• Problem solve service delivery issues• Facilitate team meetings• Provide information and at the local
level re: relevant child serving agencies
![Page 11: Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network Intensive Interagency, Homebound Instruction and Instruction Conducted in the Home December, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd89c550346b9588b58fa/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What Intensive Interagency is NOT:
• If there is a dispute about the appropriateness of the student’s program or placement, this dispute must be resolved through mediation and/ or due process hearing procedures.
• Program and/or placement disputes cannot be resolved through intensive interagency coordination.
![Page 12: Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network Intensive Interagency, Homebound Instruction and Instruction Conducted in the Home December, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd89c550346b9588b58fa/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
School District Responsibility
• The Department requires school districts to submit an initial report for students:(1) whose districts have determined that they cannot
currently be served in the public educational setting; and (2) who have waited more than 30 days for the provision of an appropriate educational placement (or are at substantial risk of waiting more than 30 days for a placement).
• These reports must be filed within 5 days of initial identification of these students and must be updated on a continuous basis until an appropriate placement is provided.

Homebound Instruction – 24 PS 13.1329(a) Pa Code Title 22 11.25
“Homebound instruction is a temporary excusal from compulsory education laws for mental, physical or other urgent reasons. ”
![Page 15: Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network Intensive Interagency, Homebound Instruction and Instruction Conducted in the Home December, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd89c550346b9588b58fa/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Homebound Instruction
• The LEA… “may provide students temporarily excused under this section with homebound instruction for a period not to exceed 3 months.”
PA Code Title 22 11.25
![Page 16: Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network Intensive Interagency, Homebound Instruction and Instruction Conducted in the Home December, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd89c550346b9588b58fa/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

PA Code Title 22 11.25

Instruction Conducted in the Home
A placement option on the continuum of alternative placements for students with disabilities who require full-time special education services and programs outside the school setting for the entire day. Placement is an individualized education program (IEP) team decision and requires issuance of a Notice of Recommended Educational Placement (NOREP).
![Page 18: Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network Intensive Interagency, Homebound Instruction and Instruction Conducted in the Home December, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd89c550346b9588b58fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is the difference?
Instruction Conducted in the Home
• A special education placement.
• Instruction is provided at the student’s home.
• Requires an IEP team decision and a signed NOREP.
Homebound• For any student.• A temporary excusal
from compulsory attendance due to a medical, physical or mental health need.
• Requires a doctor’s recommendation.
![Page 19: Pennsylvania Training and Technical Assistance Network Intensive Interagency, Homebound Instruction and Instruction Conducted in the Home December, 2012.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062621/551bd89c550346b9588b58fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Homebound Policy Suggestions: Best Practice
• Does your LEA have a school policy listing the protocol for requesting homebound?
• Is there an LEA developed form that physicians are to use?
• Is the protocol handled by the nurse’s office?• Is there a “time life” for the physician’s note?• If the request for excusal from school is due to a
behavioral health need, does the treating physician/psychologist understand what their recommendation means?
• Is there a release of information available so the school team can receive updates(when permissible)

Discussion Questions
• Does your district have a prescribed set of practices to guide teams in addressing students who are at risk of losing their educational placement?
• Do the practices support timely & effective intervention?• Do the practices support the formulation of a plan that is
communicated to all relevant parties?• Do the practices support timely follow-up and ongoing
communication?• Do the practices support monitoring and revisions as
necessary?
