For Students with an IEP – BEC Manhattan

Information Sessions

For parents and students with an IEP or who receive special education services for 20% or more of the school day. Students with 504’s or English Language Learners should attend a General Open House.

These sessions will cover how we support students with IEPs. You will hear from our Assistant Principal for Special Education, have a chance to ask questions, and can tour the building. We will try to comprehensively cover our general programming in these events as well, but you are more than welcome to register for an Open House or General Information Session in addition. If you have questions about special education at BHSEC please email, [email protected].

Admission Seats for Students with Disabilities

As per DOE policy, students who are considered a student with a disability are ranked parallel to students in the general population. An applicant who receives special education instructional programming for more than 20% of their academic program as indicated on their current IEP, is considered a student with disability.
Related services, such as speech, occupational therapy (OT), and physical therapy (PT), are not considered special education instructional programming for the purposes of high school admissions.
Please note that students with 504 accommodation plans are not entitled to seats for students with disabilities if they do not have an IEP that states the student also receives instructional programming for more than 20% of their academic program.
