Special Education Programs Division Integrated Life Skills (ILS) Program • Overview • Eligibility • Contact Information Overview The Integrated Life Skills (ILS) Program is a program for students five to 22 years of age who have significant disabilities. The ILS Program follows a curriculum using alternative standards, leading to a Letter of Recognition. Located at various comprehensive school sites throughout the district, the ILS Program serves over 1,000 students. The ILS Program prepares students to live in their community based on the belief that each student is assured equal access to the educational options and support provided to all children of the same age group. The ILS program provides:     . Access to general education environments     . Access to a variety of core curriculum and instructional options, with adaptations and modifications, assistive technology, and communication strategies necessary to meet individual needs, based upon current research theory     . Collaboration between general and specific education personnel     . Ranges of designated services (i.e. APE, SLP, and OT) are available to students who qualify, as determined by assessment in the area of concern and IEP team     . Consultation in the process of developing instructional strategies and writing positive behavior support plans     . Extended school year programs are provided to students as determined by the IEP team     . Best practices in all areas of teaching and learning based upon current research theory and philosophy Eligibility Students who meet the eligibility criteria for the ILS Program function within the mild to profound range of mental retardation (69 IQ and below) and represent a variety of disabilities as identified in the Individuals with Diasbilities Education Act (IDEA). Criteria must include significant sub-average general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period, adversely affecting educational performance. Each student's Individualized Education Plan (IEP) specifies individualized goals and objectives that provide access to the district's core curriculum and to meet student needs. Placement in the ILS Program is made after an IEP team determines eligibility. The program provides a continuum of services at or near the student's neighborhood school, school choice or other appropriate setting. General education classrooms of their same age peers on a full- or part-time basis, and Special Day Class for small group instruction are available.
