About SELPA Handbook
The SELPA Handbook is divided into two parts. Part I: Program Procedures serves as a practical guide for special educators and administrators on the processes for identification, referral, assessment, IEP development, and program placement. Part II: Administrative Policies and Procedures outlines the policies, procedures, and local agreements that ensure equitable and consistent program operation across the SELPA.
Legal citations from federal and state regulations are included where applicable. The handbook is reviewed annually and updated as needed. For questions not addressed in the handbook, contact your district’s special education administrator or a SELPA program specialist.
