learning, reading, concentrating, thinking, communicating, and working. Major life activities
also include the operation of a major bodily function, including but not limited to, functions of
the immune system, normal cell growth, digestive, bowel, bladder, neurological, brain,
respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, and reproductive functions.

In deciding eligibility, the Multi-Disciplinary Team will consider information from a variety of
sources, including medical documentation, behavioral observations, checklists, classroom
tests, teacher recommendations and/or reports, current grades and trends, academic history,
standardized test reports, and other relevant information.

The Multi-Disciplinary Team determines accommodations to be included on the Section 504
Accommodation Plan to ensure an equal opportunity to master the General Education content
requirements.

GRADUATION OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES (SWD)
The Florida Course Descriptions document, Exceptional Student Education (ESE), contains a
listing and description of course options available along with suggested course performance
objectives and credit requirements.

In accordance with State Board of Education Rule 6A-1.09961, students entering high school
must demonstrate mastery of the Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS), Mathematics Florida
Standards (MAFS), and Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) in Science. Each
includes Access Points for students with significant disabilities. These Access Points are
expectations for students with significant cognitive disabilities to access the General Education
curriculum. Access Points reflect the core intent of the standards with reduced levels of
complexity.

As all ESE courses are repeatable or multi-credit, the particular course requirements and
course performance objectives that a student must master to earn each credit must be
specified on an individual basis for each student.

Core Access Academic Courses are repeatable for core credit for a maximum of two credits
and then any additional credit in that course shall be counted as an elective credit for the
purpose of graduation.

Targeted course requirements, objectives, and a record of individual student mastery must be
documented by a school or teacher-developed record of course achievement.

Nothing contained in this document shall be construed to limit or restrict the right of an ESE-
eligible student solely to a Special Diploma. [Florida Statute § 1003.438]

The IEP will include a statement of intent to pursue a Standard High School Diploma and a
Scholar or Merit designation, pursuant to Florida State Statute § 1003.4285, as determined by
the parent.
