Section 504, ADA, FERPA and HIPAA
For School-based Practitioners
Practicing in public schools is rife with judgement calls! This session will review privacy and anti-discrimination laws essential to school-based practice, beyond IDEA. Laurie will discuss when Section 504 is the appropriate route of service delivery. She will also contrast FERPA from HIPAA as they apply to schools. Attendees will learn with whom school and medical documentation can be shared and how. Laurie will help you focus your time on promoting your students’ participation in their education, while remaining in compliance with these complex set of regulations. Closed Captioned in English
