Increasingly, outside therapists come into our programs to provide a wide range of services to our enrolled children. Many times, therapists come into our program before we have a clear idea of the services, schedule, or purpose of their work with the enrolled child. Allowing outside therapists into the program to work with a child with a disability is considered a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act, and there should be clear communication and a cooperative relationship between ALL members of the child's care team. This session will look at the program's responsibilities from requesting the child be evaluated for services all the way through implementation of services. We will provide language for policies the therapist and their team should sign before beginning work with a child at your program and releases the parents should sign for both the therapist and child care program to communicate with each other as well as scenarios we have seen where the care team and the therapist struggled to work together and look for solutions and discuss options for the program that does not violate the child's rights under the ADA.
