INTRODUCTION The Special Education Student Services Delivery Continuum was created to assist districts in the process of exploring appropriate placement alternatives for their students who require either more or different support than exists within the district program. Programs included are organized according to: Center based sites with their satellite, included sites Geographical location Student needs Elementary Secondary Academic/Behavioral Developmental In addition to assisting districts in identifying an appropriate placement, the guide offers insight into where a student might move after initial placement, if he/she ages out of his/her current setting, or if he/she achieves to the point of readiness for a less restrictive (included) placement. In reviewing the Student Profiles that describe the population enrolled in any program, it should be noted that descriptors such as mild, moderate, severe are used in a different context by Eastern Suffolk BOCES than they would be by component district personnel. It should be assumed that a student whose disability is described as minimal within a local district setting would not typically be considered for a BOCES placement. In order to be recommended for a BOCES placement, a district would most likely perceive a student as having moderate to severe disabilities in comparison to their average district population with disabilities. As such, interpretation of Eastern Suffolk Student Profile descriptors should include an understanding of these adjectives as being used within the context of a population with significant disabilities.
