General Rules for Ordering

• Do NOT over-order− LEAs are sent 5% overage

− Schools are sent 10% overage

• Be realistic with quantities− Especially large print and braille

These materials are expensive!

− Mobile populations (county offices) Average prior-year orders, then use “Supplemental

Order” process if necessary


• Student with significant cognitive disability(s) who has an individualized education program (IEP).

• Student’s IEP must specify CAPA and whether the student should take the grade-assigned CAPA level or CAPA Level I.

Note: Student counts by CAPA level are not necessary during the ordering process.
