Presented by Alisia St. Florian, Esq.
Whether temporary or permanent, the highly restrictive nature of home and hospital placements presents medical, emotional and academic challenges for the student -- so careful consideration must go into the decision.
Attorney Alisia St. Florian will take you through what constitutes "home/hospital instruction" versus "home as an educational placement." You'll learn when each placement is and isn't appropriate, procedures the district should follow to initiate each one, as well as how to:
- Respond to a parent's home/hospital instruction request
- Discuss home as a possible placement at an IEP team meeting
- Determine when home instruction is no longer warranted
- Resolve differences with parents and decide when filing for due process is necessary
- Help students with histories of school truancy and school phobias attend school
- And more!
