Read the first 6 Procedures for Transporting Students with Special Needs flashcards as text

  1. What document governs the specific transportation accommodations required for a student with disabilities in California?

    Answer: The student's Individualized Education Program (IEP)

    The IEP specifies each student's unique transportation needs, including equipment, assistance, and medical considerations.

  2. When securing a power wheelchair to the school bus floor, how many tie-down points are typically required?

    Answer: Four — two at the front, two at the rear

    Four-point tie-down systems (two front, two rear) are the standard for wheelchair securement on school buses.

  3. A student with autism spectrum disorder becomes severely agitated during the bus ride. What is the BEST first response from the driver?

    Answer: If safely possible, pull over safely, maintain calm, and follow the student's IEP behavior plan

    The driver should pull over when safe, remain calm, and follow the student's documented IEP behavior plan for de-escalation.

  4. What is the correct direction for a student in a wheelchair to face while being transported on a school bus?

    Answer: Either direction as specified in the student's IEP or the wheelchair securement system design

    Both forward-facing and rear-facing configurations are acceptable if properly secured; the student's IEP or securement system specifications determine the correct orientation.

  5. Why must a bus aide (if assigned) ride on a school bus transporting students with special needs, rather than being optional?

    Answer: To monitor student behavior, provide medical assistance, and help with securement of mobility devices

    The bus aide assists with securement, monitors students who may need medical attention, and provides behavioral support that the driver cannot safely provide while driving.

  6. A student who uses a walker boards the school bus. The student's IEP requires them to be seated in a specific seat. What should the driver do with the walker during transport?

    Answer: Store and secure the walker so it does not become a projectile — in a storage area or tied down

    The walker must be stored and secured so it cannot become a projectile during sudden stops or crashes.
