Topic 4: Five Levels Review
The matrix is designed with five levels in each of the domains areas. Level 1 represents the lowest level of service; Level 5 represents the highest level of service. Factors determining the level of services include the frequency and intensity of the service and the qualifications of personnel required to provide the services. Special services needs should be considered in relation to a student's same-age peers.
Level 1
The student requires no services or assistance beyond those normally available to all students.
Level 2
The student is receiving assistance on a periodic basis or receives minor adaptations, assistance, or services.
- Consultation
- At least monthly
- Adaptations
The student is receiving modifications to the learning environment that are more complex or services on a more frequent schedule
- Weekly
- Collaboration
- Assistance for some learning activities
The student is receiving more extensive modifications to the learning environment or use of specialized approaches, assistance or equipment for the majority of learning activities
- Very specialized or different programs
- Daily or very frequent services
- Assistance needed for majority of activities
Level 5
The student is receiving continuous and intense (one-to-one or very small group) assistance, multiple services, or substantial modifications for most of learning activities
- Continuous or constant intervention or assistance
- Intensive or individualize approaches and services for most of the day
- Multiple services
Refer to pages 17-21 in the Matrix of Services Handbook.
