Specialized Academic Instruction (SAI)
SAI is “Adapting, as appropriate to the needs of the student with a disability the content, methodology, or delivery of instruction to ensure access of the student to the general curriculum, so that he/she can meet the educational standards within the jurisdiction of the public agency that apply to all students.” IDEA emphasizes that all children are to be in general education classes to the greatest extent appropriate.
A less restrictive placement is considered when documentation demonstrates that a student is making sufficient progress on his/her goals and objectives and with modifications, accommodations, and needed services can participate in a meaningful way in a less restrictive environment.
