Psychomotor Considerations:
Identification in the area of psychomotor is designated for state- or national-level elite athletes who have received this ranking from the sport’s national governing body. These athletes may require a gifted determination to address the interventions necessary as a result of the amount of time the student is out of school or to earn credits for specific courses. Districts are not required to provide or financially support athletic coaching, training or competitions for students identified in this area. This process follows CDE guidelines.

A psychomotor ALP does not guarantee that the student can be absent from school at any time. This may be an intervention strategy that will be negotiated with the school, through a collaborative process involving multiple stakeholders. Families are responsible to ensure state mandated schooling requirements (i.e. curriculum, assignments, on-going learning, due dates, etc.) are addressed prior to absences directly related to psychomotor identification.
