SPECIAL EDUCATION STANDARD OF CARE

The professional standard of care is the expected amount and type of treatment that any competent professional or program with the same background, environment, and resources would offer in the same situation. It is vital to maintain a proper understanding of the standard of care to avoid educational policy issues. Schools, universities, youth programs, and other educational institutions have a duty to provide a certain level of care and resources to children with disabilities to ensure they can benefit from an education tailored to their unique needs. School Liability Expert Group maintains expertise in the standard of care for special education programs and services.

When it comes to special education, there are various steps in which an institution must meet a standard of care: during the evaluation of a potential special needs student, when creating an individualized education program (IEP), and while special education services are being provided. For assistance on cases regarding these educational policy issues, book a call with School Liability Expert Group to discuss school and higher education student safety and liability.
