Do your districts have guidelines to who should have an IHP?
I would have them on so many if we did home meds...what is the rationale for that?
I was thinking the same thing. And what does this accomplish? Does anyone read all of them besides the person that writes them?
I have a few IHPs for specific students and frankly they often morph into a medical 504 plan by the time the student hits HS.
We have a general allergy action protocol, for example, that I find much more effective than any IHP for a student with only an allergy that might require an Epi-pen. That action plan hangs in every classroom so a teacher can reference it. Same thing with our seizure action plan. I suppose the IHP would read "give Epi-pen for xyz symptoms. Allergy action plan up in classroom for teacher reference."
