etc.) must also be taken into consideration when the IEP team discusses a child’s placement and transportation needs. 6. Extended school year services, pursuant to Education Code § 56345(b)(3) , should be another consideration of a child’s need for transportation if considered necessary to provide FAPE as specified in the child’s IEP. Individualized Health Plan An Individualized Health Plan is a separate document used in addition to the IEP. The information contained in this plan goes beyond the legally required contents of the IEP and lays out the steps to be followed by the Charter LEA in the event of a medical or other emergency that presents health concerns and occurs while the child is under the care and supervision of the school. Transportation and any specific concerns in this context are covered in this plan. A separate portion of the plan can be specifically devoted to transportation concerns. In drafting an individualized health plan, the expert advice and assistance of medical and health professionals should be sought and relied upon, as these individuals can supply the expertise necessary to respond to emergency situations. While the federal special education laws do not specifically require the implementation of such plans, it is recommended that Charter LEAs use them to address the special concerns raised by medically fragile children who may encounter serious health and safety risks throughout the course of the school day. The individualized health plan should include: • The designation an emergency contact for the child
7.0
• An alternative emergency contact should one be required • Names of designated doctors and hospital preferences • Any allergies
• Descriptions of current medications and dosages and the reasons for medication • Any interventions to be provided and who will perform those interventions, including level of supervision and training required to perform those services.
