WHATS NEW AT NASET
NASET’s IEP Components Series
The Ying and the Yang of Compensatory Services for Students with IEPs
By Dr. Nasser A. Cortez
University of Southern California Rossier School of Education
This issue of NASET’s IEP Components Series was written by Dr. Nasser A. Cortez from the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education. A consequence of the pandemic is an increase in compensatory services for children with disabilities. Much of the discussion in schools and districts is on helping students recover from learning loss due to challenges encountered during the pandemic, including distance learning and ineffective implementation of individual education plans (IEPs). Having some experience with providing compensatory services (e.g., specialized academic instruction) to K-12 students with disabilities, the author will share what has been learned, along with recommendations for future practice.

TRIVIA QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Congratulations to
Rebekah Budziszews, Amanda Skeen, Joann P. Judge, Natasha Skinner, Kelly L. Duenckel, Patsy Ray, Karen Frantz-Fry, Cheryl S. Mitchell, Ellen Kay, Wanda J. Routier, Carrie Ferguson, Lauro Esquilona III, Brandey Crawford, Lane Mueller, and Cindi Maurice who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:
In a large study of more than 7,000 children, researchers found one to four hours of this per day at age one was linked to delays in communication, fine motor skills, problem-solving and personal and social skills at 2 years old. Accordingly, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that babies younger than 18 months get none of this and that by ages 2 to 3, kids should only get up to an hour a day of it. What is it?
Answer: SCREEN TIME
This week's trivia question:
In 2022, 14% of high school students and 3% of middle school students reported doing this very concerning and health-risk behavior, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This is part of a growing trend of adolescents and young adults increasingly doing this. According to the latest research, a greater share of adolescents and young adults with cognitive disabilities engaged in past-month behavior doing this (14.2%) compared to those without a disability (9.6%). The study also found that major depressive episodes (MDEs) are associated with this behavior in adolescent and young adult populations. These findings reveal that adolescents and young adults who experience MDEs or have cognitive disabilities are at higher risk of doing this behavior. What is this very concerning and health-risk behavior?
