Comment on Proposed Changes in Special Education Administrative Rules
On September 28, 2011, the U.S. Department of Education issued new regulations for Part C of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). These new regulations, now in effect, specify requirements for early intervention (EI) services for children with disabilities under the age of three years and include requirements for the transition of these children to early childhood special education services (ECSE) under IDEA Part B. The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has proposed new and revised Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) to align with these IDEA changes.
You are invited to submit written comments on any or all of these rules, posted here.
You may submit your written comments, with your contact information, by e-mail, U.S. Mail, or other delivery service.
