Tips for Administrators to Help Parents Contrast School-Based and Medical Therapy Services
Healthcare providers frequently tell parents what school therapy should be provided, what it should focus on, and/or how much school therapy should be provided. Then parents’ expectations are violated when The ARD Committee implements the decision-making process that may not result in similar recommendations, causing confusion and resentment. This session will help school administrators contrast the medical model of therapy services (e.g., speech-language pathology, occupational therapy, physical therapy, etc.) with the school model required by IDEA. Participating administrators will be equipped to better understand and respond to parents’ concerns that their child is not receiving appropriate educational services.
