SUMMARY OF ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND
FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE
The Summary of Performance (SOP) is required under the
reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004. §Sec. 300.305(e) (3).
The SOP must be
completed during the final year of a student’s high school education. The
timing of completion of the SOP may vary depending on the student’s
postsecondary goals. If a student is transitioning to higher education, the
SOP, with additional documentation, may be necessary as the student applies to
a college or university. Likewise, this information may be necessary as a
student applies for services from state agencies such as vocational
rehabilitation. In some instances, it may be most appropriate to wait until the
spring of a student’s final year to provide an agency or employer the most updated
information on the performance of the student.
