placement established by the Arizona Department of Education's
Exceptional Student Services Division (ESS), and the Federal
Government's Office of Special eEucation Programs (OSEP).

needs-intellectual, behavioral social, physical, and emotional.

education and related -services required to provide the student with
access to the general curriculum, in the least restrictive
environment.
Through each student's Individual Education Plan (IEP), the Team
identifies the student's present levels of educational performance,
and defines the student's academic and behavioral goals to be used
as the criteria for placement in transition out of ABA's programs.
