OT Kids Plus LLC. will provide occupational, physical and speech therapy services to students in order to maintain compliance with the students’ IEP. These include students who are severely disabled and home-bound students. They will also provide OT/PT therapist on an as needed basis to our extended school year program. (This resolution is responsive to Part 200 requirements to provide a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) to all students. If the nature or severity of the student’s disability is such that it precludes them from attending an in-district program, then a program must then be provided to the homebound student.


ASSESSMENT PROCESS:
Informal communication is ongoing between parents, provider and other school personnel. This communication is in the form of written letters and consults with teachers. Formal communication is via end-of-the-year summaries, monthly progress and statistical reports. Assessment of progress will be done at CSE and Annual Review Meetings.
