Inclusion support services in NY

I am not in NY but in my state “consultative” means indirect services and suggested accomodations for specific students in inclusion classes. Resource on the other hand is direct services in a pull-out program and working on remediation of areas of discrepancies. I’m sure other states have other “terminology”. It’s strange that we all are to comply with ADA and yet there seems to be so many different ways in which that occurs.

Hi,
I teach in Southern Il in a middle school as a resource teacher, but my students are 100% inclusion, except for 45 minutes of a resource class. Direct services are when the students are exclusively with me in the resource class and I am doing the grading. Push in services are when I go into the classrooms and provide service through accomodations and co teaching - push in is listed as direct support on the IEP.
I have been teaching for 12 years and this is my first experience with this type of inclusion. Its been a learning situation. The teachers I work with vary in their experience with special education, and also in their attitudes. Some are open to coteaching, and some don’t want me in the classroom at all. Luckily, I am flexible and have EXCELLENT students!
Hope this helps! Any tips you have would be greatly appreciated as well!

I provide resource room services (pull-out) and direct consultant services(push-in) in NY. I have not heard of Resource Room push in services. It might be that your district has re-assigned the way the Resource Room service is provided by now providing the service in the classroom instead of as a pull-out in a separate location.

One of my first experiences with co-teaching was wonderful. The only problem was even with the delivery of instruction altered - my unmotivated students still did not succeed. If you are lucky enough to co-teach - you are definitely the exception because they requires common plan time and time doesn’t seem to be available for much of anything anymore. Maybe if we would build one less bomber, we could fund education for a year!

Would you happen to know (or like to speculate) what the difference would be??

PUsh in resource services is when a special ed teacher provides replacement services in the reg class. This means the student does not have to keep up with the other class if he/she can’t.

Push in resource in NJ is when a special ed teacher goes into the reg classroom to help a special ed child. The child gets replacement services if he cannot keep up with the class and stays in the reg class
