  2. ensure use of the Service reconciliation form. Located within each student’s Service Plan folder, the Service reconciliation form allows educators to efficiently find and resolve the overlap in service dates which happens when a service plan is amended mid-year or when a new annual plan is finalized before the projected end date of the previous plan. Important note: The Service Reconciliation Form is exclusively available in version 2.0. A short video has been posted to our YouTube channel to support use of the Service Reconciliation tool:

Announcements

1. The IIIP (Individual Interagency Intervention Plan) will be discontinued with the July update.

2. Attention ECSE Users: SpEd Forms includes a large library of evaluation tools that can be easily incorporated into evaluation reports for Part B as well as the evaluation summary section of IFSPs. Some of the tools specific to ECSE are no longer in common use or have been revised. You are invited to participate in a survey to identify which tools should be retained within the library and which should be deleted. The survey will remain open through May 27th. The survey can be accessed here:
