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.
