  2. Overview of CAP • What is CAP • The Child Assistance Program (CAP) is an automated on-line system that tracks students through the referral, evaluation and placement process and the delivery of services to students (ages 3 to 21). CAP provides data to the budget office for allocation of special education teachers, related service providers and assessment personnel. CAP also provides data for federal, state and medical claims. Information on students with disabilities, classes and schools is available to the field by accessing the on-line inquiry screens.

  9. Overview of the Special Education Process • Reevaluations • A Reevaluations must be conducted once every three years, except if, upon review of existing data and the student’s individual needs, the school district and the parent agree in writing that such reevaluation is unnecessary. Reevaluation will not occur more than once a year unless the district and parent agree otherwise.

  10. Overview of the Special Education Process Annual Reviews • Annual Reviews • A student’s IEP must be reviewed annually and a referral is therefore not required • Timeline/ Compliance

  11. Program Recommendation(Refer to the CAP Code Handbook for available program recommendations) At the IEP meeting, the IEP Team determines if the student has a disability and requires special education services. • The type and intensity of services and supports are identified • The type of environment in which special educations services should be delivered • The appropriate service language • Other determinations are made

  12. Student Placement • Following the development of a student’s IEP and a recommendation for special education services , a site for the student to attend and receive SE services must be arranged. • A Final Notice of Recommendation (FNR), indicating the school the student will attend and any special services they will receive is sent to the parent.

  22. Discharges • SE students should be not discharged in CAP before they are discharged in ATS. • Some ATS discharges are not applicable for a special education student and should not be entered in CAP. For example, students discharged in ATS with a reason code 06 or 08 (Discharge to Private/Parochial school) should not be discharged in CAP. These students are entitled to SE services in their Private and Parochial school. (Refer to the CAP Handbook / ATS Discharge Code Chart )

  23. The ACP Project ATS (Automate the Schools) and CAP (Child Assistance Program) • The current link between the ATS and CAP systems makes possible the sharing of 14 data elements common to both the ATS and CAP systems. These data elements are shared for all students who are active on the ATS database and on the CAP system. This means that when one of these elements is entered or changed on either system, that entry or change will be reflected in the exact same manner in the other system. For example, if a pupil accounting secretary changes a student’s address in ATS, that change will automatically appear in the CAP system. The converse would also be true. The fourteen common data elements are: • Student Information • Last Name • First Name • Date of Birth • Sex • Place of Birth • ESL • Ethnicity • Address • Phone Number • Guardian Information • Last Name • First Name • Address • Phone Number • Relationship Code • The link will also permit the immediate assignment of the NYC student identification number for all students entered into the CAP system who are new to the New York City public school system.
