Matrix of Services Handbook

INTRODUCTION

This handbook is intended to be used with the Matrix of Services training and as a reference when completing matrixes on students identified as exceptional.

The handbook is divided into four main sections. The first contains information about the matrix form and its components. This is followed by a section on the five levels used in the matrix to indicate the intensity of support required to meet the needs of students identified as exceptional. The next section addresses the five domains of the matrix and the special considerations section of the matrix. Each domain is described in detail, and examples of services related to the domain are provided. The final section contains frequently asked questions and answers.

A glossary of terms used throughout this handbook is at the end of the handbook.

In this handbook, the term “individual educational plan (IEP)” also refers to the educational plan (EP) and the individualized family support plan.
