19.05.1 An analysis of materials pertaining to recoupment suggests a six-week interruption in educational programming may be detrimental to a child's progress.

19.05.2 The review further suggests the general guideline for a reasonable recoupment period may be five (5) or more instructional days for each two week period of interruption in educational programming. This guideline may be used to compute reasonable recoupment periods according to the length of interruption in an educational program.

19.05.3 The length of interruption in instructional programming which causes a detrimental effect may vary, because regression/ recoupment patterns vary greatly among similarly disabled children. While generalities are helpful, it is imperative that each child's functioning be considered individually.
