Objective 1: Advocate for increased funding for school re-entry services.
Activity 1: Survey school personnel who routinely participate in school re-entry planning for children and
youth with SCI to identify services (i.e. teacher/administrator training, family training, modifications,
assistive technology, etc.) that are needed to reach optimal education levels.
Activity 2: Using list of identified services from Objective 1, identify which services are covered and which
are not covered by Medicaid, private insurance, federal, or other sources of funding.
Activity 3: Advocate for changes in funding policies to ensure coverage of necessary and appropriate
school re-entry services.
Goal 2: Increase school re-entry services and training to ensure that schools are prepared to support children and youth
with SCI.
Objective 1: Provide training and support to teachers, school nurses, and other school personnel when children
and youth return to school following SCI.
Activity 1: Study models of other states that provide consultations to teachers when a child or youth with
SCI returns to school.
Activity 2: Determine whether models could be replicated in Georgia and what resources would be
required for replication.
Activity 3: Develop plan for gathering resources and replicating models.
