integrated
- 1:1 w PT but takes place w/i context of school-based routine/activity
- ex: during classroom activity, recess, gym
when is an integrated more or less important
more - when kids are younger
may be less as kids get older
what is a consultation service delivery method
consulting w other relevant school personnel for appropriate carryover
what is a monitoring service delivery method
PT is a related service but out of the picture
- see them 1x/mo, 1x/semester to be sure child is continuing to achieve educational goals w/o more intensive service delivery plan
hands off approach - can jump back in if necessary
what is an example of a case who might benefit from a monitoring service delivery method
child could graduate PT, but if you (or family) aren’t 100% sure they will continue to achieve objectives
what is a collaboration service delivery method
as you would w any setting
- collaborate w other services as a related service
