Did you know ESY (Extended School Year) isn't just about summer school? It's so much more! ??? In this video, we dive deep into what ESY really is and how it works to prevent the learning loss students often face during breaks. ESY focuses on maintaining critical learning skills, especially for students at crucial learning stages, and it's all tailored to the individual needs outlined by the IEP team. We'll explore what ESY is not: it's not a catch-up program or an advancement opportunity, and it's not available to all students—it must be a decision made by the IEP team. Learn about the importance of critical skills and learning stages, and how they play a role in ensuring students' overall functioning, independence, communication, and core academic competencies. From basic reading to toileting skills, discover how ESY supports students in maintaining essential skills that lead to greater independence. For more information, check out our blog posts on ESY at kitforteams.com. Don't miss out on understanding how ESY can make a significant difference in a student's educational journey!
