46 Suggestions and Information Related to Programs and Schools: Confidentiality: The federal law FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act) protects your privacy when a school or agency collects information about your child and family. Examples of the kinds of information protected are: information about your child’s condition or disability individual assessment or evaluation tests of your child information about your family copy of your child’s IEP (Individualized Education Plan) copy of your family’s IFSP (Individualized Family Service Plan) This information is only available to certain individuals. The school or agency has a list of individuals who have access to this information. This information may not be shared with others without parental consent. If your child is hospitalized for mental illness, it is important to keep informed about how the hospital and school communicate about your child’s grades and educational progress at the hospital. Communication with Program / School Personnel: Encourage communication among professionals working with your child. There may be information about your child that you would like to be shared between your physician and your child’s school or program. You may give your written permission to share specific information from your physician to your child’s school or program, or from your child’s school or program to your physician using a release of information form. Discuss with your physician any concerns you may have about releasing information that you feel is not necessary for the school or program to know about your child or family situation. As a parent or guardian, you have the right to view and obtain copies of your child’s program and school records. This includes individual assessments or evaluation tests of your child, specialist reports, Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSPs) and Individual Education Plans (IEPs). It is helpful to give copies of health and emergency information to your child’s substitute teacher, after school personnel, and other school or program personnel your child is in contact with on a regular basis. To make sure that these individuals understand the medical needs of your child, it is important to talk directly with each of these individuals about your child’s medical needs and what should be done in an emergency situation. Request the school nurse to be present at your child’s IEP Team (M-team) meeting. Most school districts have their own forms for medical procedures and administration of medication. Request these forms from your child’s school district. © Junior League Family Resource Center 2005
Your Child’s Educational Rights: There are laws to protect the educational rights of children with chronic illnesses and disabilities. These laws include the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). A link to the Tennessee Department of Education’s publication “Rights of Children with Disabilities and Parent Responsibilities” may be found at www.finonline.org. This publication describes the laws and regulations involved in special education within the state of Tennessee. Medical Emergencies at Your Child’s Program/School: It is important that everyone involved in the care of your child know what the plan of emergency care is for your child. The school will ask you to complete their form with emergency contacts in the event you are not available during a medical emergency involving your child. The First Responders Program at your child’s school requires that school personnel be certified to administer CPR and to administer first aid. Ask school personnel who these First Responders are at your school. To ensure that the emergency personnel have access to important medical information about your child, you may want to share selected information from the Emergency Health Information Section of this notebook. If you want to keep information that your provide confidential, it may be given to school personnel in a sealed envelope with your signature written on the seal. Request that school personnel hand this sealed envelope directly to the emergency personnel when they arrive at the school. Find out the nearest emergency room to your child’s school or program and the emergency room your child’s school uses. Discuss with your child’s physician if these emergency rooms can provide the necessary care for your child. 47 © Junior League Family Resource Center 2005
