Health Support ServicesHealth Support Services are delivered by qualified practitioners who come to the schoolfrom school support agencies when medical documentation indicates that theseprocedures must be done during the school day. <strong>School</strong>s complete referral forms providedby these agencies and then the individual agencies work with the families to determineappropriate care. <strong>School</strong> boards do not determine the criteria for this service. Servicesdiscontinue if M.D. documentation declares them unnecessary for the school supportagency discharges according to their criteria. Such services such as O.T., P.T. andSpeech Language Services (a small portion of school-aged students requiring speechservices who are served by North East Community Care Access Centre) are controlleddirectly by the delivery agency. Agencies determine the criteria and level of service andhave indicated a reduced level of support due to the unavailability of professionals to hire.This service model reflects the fact that the <strong>Algoma</strong> <strong>District</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>Board</strong> does not employOccupational Therapists or Physical Therapists. There have been no appeals on theseservice issues.Appendix 10June <strong>2012</strong> 21 of 68
