CFISD Definition of ICS
In-class Support (ICS) services utilize the general education teacher as the main provider of instruction paired with a special education teacher or paraprofessional to assist students with disabilities in the classroom.
Special education staff assist students and general education teachers on a limited basis as determined by the Admission, Review, and Dismissal (ARD) Committee.

instruction for all students in the general education classroom.
Students with disabilities benefit from additional instructional support on an intermittent or time-limited basis.
