IHPs

We have to do an IHP for any student with a medical diagnosis that takes medication (even medication at home). It is a lot. I struggle to keep up.

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."

OMG I would never get done...that is crazy. Did anyone with any medical training come up with that?
