Extended school year services are crucial for many students with special needs. These services provide additional educational support during the summer months, helping students maintain the progress they have made during the school year. Students with special needs often require more time to master new skills, and the extended school year allows them to do so without losing momentum. Additionally, the extended school year can help prevent regression in skills and behaviors that can occur during long breaks from school. Overall, extended school year services are a vital component of ensuring that students with special needs receive the support they need to succeed academically and beyond.
