The November, 2013 revision was made to make both the Medical Statement or Health Assessment Statement form and the accompanying directions more clear, concise, and understandable for school staff and medical providers. This recent revision was necessary to make corrections to ensure consistency with OAR 581-015-2150 for Hearing Impairment eligibility.

Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is in the process of revising the Standard Oregon IEP form to align with the most current Statewide Assessments. In preparation for the first Smarter Balanced administration during the 2014-2015 school year, ODE is offering guidance related to IEP development and documentation of accommodations. The following guidance pertains to the respective Statewide Assessments listed below: * IEP teams will continue to utilize the Statewide Assessment page of the Standard Oregon IEP form to document the individual accommodations that are necessary to measure the academic achievement and functional performance of the child. * SMARTER BALANCED - IEP teams will document the specific accommodations for Smarter Balanced in the last column of the Statewide Assessment page labeled "accommodations" in the appropriate rows labeled "Reading/Literature, Mathematics, and Writing". For the Smarter Balanced assessment category of "Listening", IEP teams will clearly identify any individual accommodations in the first row labeled "Reading/Literature". IEP teams will not indicate "all appropriate and/or allowed accommodations". This statement does not meet the requirement under IDEA which states "each student's IEP must include a statement of any individual accommodations". * OAKS (including ELPA, KA, Social Sciences) - IEP teams will continue to document any individual accommodations for the OAKS Social Sciences, ELPA and KA within the Present Levels of Academic Achievement and Functional Performance (PLAAFP). IEP teams will not state "all appropriate and/or allowed accommodations". This does not meet the requirement under IDEA which states "each student's IEP must include a statement of any individual accommodations". The IEP teams will document the assessment accommodations in a manner that is clear to any reader of the IEP during the Statewide Assessment process. (ELPA=English Language Proficiency Assessment; KA=Kindergarten Assessment) * OAKS (Science and Extended Assessment) - No changes at this time. The IEP teams continue to document any individual accommodations on the statewide assessment page. The IEP team must ensure that the child's current IEP lists any individual accommodations that are appropriate and provided on the Statewide Assessments. As districts conduct upcoming initial, annual and 3 year re-evaluation IEPs, it is recommended that IEP teams begin documenting all accommodations following the guidance listed above. If an IEP has already been conducted and needs to be revised, then the IEP team can amend or change the IEP to identify any individual accommodations for each of the Statewide Assessments by following the allowable methods for changing an IEP. All IEPs must identify the current accommodations for each assessment prior to the respective Statewide Assessment windows and within enough time to allow districts to enter the accommodations within the Test Information Distribution Engine (TIDE) system. If you have any questions, please contact Brad Lenhardt at 503-947-5755 or Brad.Lenhardt at state.or.us.
