Guest guest Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 My dd received homebound instruction through her school district. We did not pay anything nor did our insurance or a charity. It was the school district's responsibility to pay to educate her and to hire the teacher. I do not know if this depends on your state. What state are you in?

I think they said that they did not even have an IEP, because their child was too sick. I mentioned this to my Psychiatrist and she said that our insurance would usually pay for that or some kind of charity. She said the school system would not. Does anyone know anything about this?

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 Try this, it lists by state homebound information. http://www.talkaboutcuringautism.org/special-ed-law/homebound-state-by-state.htm I think you should call and talk to someone in the new district and explain your dd's situation. They should be able to tell you what you need as far as a letter. It may be different depending on the state. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Wilma- I child who has a designation gets services through the IDEA (Disabilities Education Act) - start with a note from the PDOC, take that to the school district, they will evalte and start their usual attempt at giving the minimum a parent will put up with - then you go back and forth until they give the kid what she needs.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 ..My child was in school in Chgo. for 5th grade, but only made it to January and then the agitation became too much. We took her out and i am now living with my brother in NJ. We plan on moving here. Do I start by calling the school or do I start with the pdoc.? What call should I make first? > My dd received homebound instruction through her school district. We did not pay > anything nor did our insurance or a charity.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Is your child enrolled in a school district right now? I am not sure which to do first in your situation. Have you had communication with the new school district yet? When my dd was going on homebound her pdoc suggested it and then we contacted the school to see what we needed to do to put it in effect. In my dd's case the school wanted a particular form for homebound filled out by the pdoc and faxed to the school district in order for services to start. It may be different in your district so I am not sure but that was the procedure in my area.
