What is esy in education?

Esy in education stands for Extended School Year. It is a special education service that is provided to students with disabilities who require year-round schooling in order to prevent substantial regression in their academic or social skills. Esy services are typically offered during summer break or other school breaks.

Esy services are determined through the student's Individualized Education Program (IEP) and are based on the student's individual needs and progress. The services provided during esy may include academic instruction, therapy services, and other supports to help the student maintain their skills and continue making progress.

Esy services are not provided to all students with disabilities, but are only offered to those who meet specific criteria outlined in their IEP. The goal of esy services is to ensure that students with disabilities have access to the educational support they need throughout the year in order to reach their full potential.
