Overview
The Hospital Program provides many education services for students while they are confined to the hospital and under direct medical care. Special Education students will be served within the guidelines of their Individualized Education Program (IEP)
.The goal of the Hospital Program is to provide education services and support in order to meet graduation requirements.
Referral Process
To initiate services for a student who will be hospitalized for the duration of one week or longer, contact the Home Hospital Program office or specific hospital teaching staff at Balboa Hospital or Children’s Hospital.
On a daily basis, the Hospital Program’s teaching staff checks the hospital census at Balboa Hospital and Children’s Hospital to identify students requiring education service.
Special Education students will have their IEP reviewed upon program entry; other students may be referred for special education assessment if the student’s status indicates this need.
