While the majority of the special education services districts have received from Heartland AEA will continue at no charge, Iowa’s AEAs have identified specific special education program enhancements that districts may want to continue that do not align with the Iowa Department of Education's guidance (i.e., Distribution and Use of State and Federal Special Education Allocations Beginning July 1, 2025, AEA Special Education Funded Staff Involvement in General Education Interventions) around what AEA special education practitioners provide as part of their special education role. Two of those services are Medicaid sign-off from a Licensed Mental Health Professional and 504 Plan support from an AEA practitioner.
To clarify which services your district intends to continue, we need your input through this brief 2-question survey by Aug. 1. This will help us accurately communicate with our special education staff about approved services.
