I am part of the IEP team, so I am invited to the domain meetings and the IEP case study eval meetings. I will do a full parent interview/questionnaire and get permission from the parent to contact...

Those numbers sound about right. They're not seeing as many students in the middle school and high school because either they're not keeping accurate counts or the teachers just know that there's not...
For those who have been involved in a situation such as this in the past/present or even just asking your opinion: If a 1:1 student has a private duty nurse coming in with them daily, should the...

I feel like that was written by a secretary, not the doctor. Sigh... Sometimes it helps if I give them a copy of my district medication orders. It's fill in the blank, so not much room to mess

Wow. I said it in an earlier post and I'll say it again...the amount that they pay some school nurses is an insult. It's an insult to our skill set and our profession. I'm sorry that you're in this...
