### 6.13.1 StudentParticipation

This object contains information pertaining to student eligibility for and participation in an individualized special program such as special education, ESL, Section 504, etc.

Multiple instances of this object may be transmitted for a particular student because the student may participate in multiple programs and because the details of a student's participation in a given program may change over time. A separate instance of this object must be generated for each program in which the student participates, and the `ProgramType` element is used to identify the particular program. In addition, each time the student's participation profile changes for a particular program, a new instance of this object must be generated with the appropriate value in the `ProgramType` element, the effective date of the new profile in `StudentParticipationAsOfDate`, and a new `RefId`.

SIF_Events are reported for this object.

### 6.13.2 StudentPlacement

This object contains information that describes a specific instructional, related or transitional service that has been prescribed or recommended in the program plan developed for a student who has been placed in an individualized special program.

The following notes are intended to clarify the use of this object:

- If assistive technology is considered a service and is prescribed in a general context rather than associated with another specific service, this can be reported as a service by using the appropriate service code
- If transportation is considered a service and is prescribed in a general context rather than associated with another specific service, this can be reported as a service by using the appropriate service code
- If the value of FrequencyTime is not the same for direct and indirect delivery of the service, each delivery can be reported separately (e.g. one instance of the object contains the direct information, the second instance contains the indirect)
- If a state or district requires the reporting of "minutes per week" and does not use the concept of number of sessions, set FrequencyTime to "1 per week" and complete DirectTime / IndirectTime and TotalServiceDuration with the appropriate number of minutes

SIF_Events are reported for this object.

### 6.13.3 TestAccommodation

This object provides information about test accommodation(s) required for a particular student who is registered to take a particular state test or who is about to be assigned by a teacher to take a course-related test, is participating in one or more special program(s) and for whom this set of test accommodations is prescribed in one or more specific special program plan(s). At the time that a new special program plan is developed for the student, any needed test / instructional accommodations must be specified as a part of that plan. During the life of a plan, a test accommodation may be added or removed.

Note that although a test accommodation may not be permitted for a state assessment program because it nullifies the results, it may be used for daily instruction. However, in order to use a test accommodation for a state assessment program, the test accommodation must be specified in the program plan and should be part of daily instruction. The request for this object must supply the information necessary to identify the specific student and either a specific high-stakes test or a subject area.

SIF_Events are not reported for this object.
