Educationally Related Occupational & Physical Therapy Services (October 3, 2012)
Learn how educationally related therapy is different from medically related therapy, and how to ask for these therapies from the school district if you feel a child needs them. Learn when an evaluation by a school therapist is warranted and what kinds of skills and activities a school based therapist may be able to provide. Carol Cohen, Family Health Liaison, Family Resource Network (FRN Alameda County) and Pat Louie from Alameda County California Children's Services (CCS) will discuss these topics as well as how CCS provides medically necessary therapy and how this therapy should be documented in a child’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP).
