[QUOTE="slsh, post: 204178, member: 8"] Susie - this is ridiculous, obviously. I'd request an IEP since the *school* is requiring medical "evaluation" in the form of a note from a physician for every absence in spite of the fact that her migraines etc. are well documented. Medical services are a related service, ergo the need for an IEP. Since SD is placing this undue burden (in my humble opinion) on you, I'd advise them they are responsible for payment for these related medical services. From Wrightslaw: [LEFT]Medical Services Medical services are considered a related service only under specific conditions. By definition, the term "means services provided by a licensed physician to determine a child's medically related disability that results in the child's need for special education and related services" [Section 300.24(b)(4)]. Thus, medical services are provided (a) by a licensed physician, and (b) for diagnostic or evaluation purposes only.[/LEFT] [LEFT]They are requiring her "evaluation" - they can pay.[/LEFT] [LEFT]Boo's medical plan basically spelled out the specifics if he seized - symptoms prior to and during seizure, treatment and who was responsible to provide it (he has a 1:1 nurse in school), who calls 911, who calls me, etc. People involved in developing the plan were school nurse, his 1:1, as well as the entire IEP team.[/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
