Object 4 covers covers specialized contracted services including services in the following
areas: hearing impairment, visual impairment, behavioral intervention (including parent
training and home services), life skills training related to intellectual impairment and
Autism, major medical or health disorders, out-of district liaison services, specialized
equipment, repair and maintenance of individually designed equipment. This is an area
of increased costs. There is an increase of $58,132 in this object (partially offset by
$37,368 more from IDEA). Costs for purchase, updating, and repair of new technology
resources continue to escalate.

Function 2400 B: SPECIAL EDUCATION TEXTBOOKS
This Function includes modified and specialized textbooks and software that
correspond to children’s individual needs and specialized testing materials.
General text materials for special education students are included in the
regular education budget
Object 5 covers specialized supplies and materials unique to individual
children’s specific disabilities (ex. expanded visual text, specialized scanners
and language producing software for children with visual impairments, and
augmented auditory computer-driven speaking program software).
This budget Object has not risen significantly and is level funded because the
district has taken advantage of past grant funding to develop a repertoire of
software licenses for recording for blind and dyslexic students at the
elementary and secondary levels. Some parents have also chosen to
individually purchase software and the CD hardware that can be primarily
used at home. Word processing documents can be easily emailed to school or
carried via flash drives. Advanced technology has helped in this area.
TOTAL: $900 Increase: 0.00%
Function 2800 B: SECONDARY SPECIAL EDUCATION
PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Object 1 includes the salaries of the now three secondary special education
chairpersons/school psychologists, one (,5 FTE) hired in Summer 2012. The
increase reflects the new person and HEA contractual benefits
Object 4 reflects evaluation services that are contracted for outside the school
district, including specialized testing and funding for parent requested
independent educational evaluations. This Object is budgeted at anticipated
cost.
Object 5 includes the anticipated cost of supplies and accommodated materials
for MCAS testing in accordance with MCAS guidelines for special education,
three-year psycho-educational evaluations and accommodated learning
materials. It is presently level funded.
