B – 046Are there any performance standards that address prohibiting a child that has behavioral and safety concerns from attending field trips?
There are no performance standards prohibiting children who present behavioral and safety concerns from attending a field trip. If a child has recognized difficulties with social behavior, your mental health professional (and special education partner if this is a child with an identified disability) should be working with you to identify and implement the appropriate modifications and supports that can enable this child to participate in the full range of program activities, including field trips. When appropriate, programs may also consider adding more adults to assist during the field trip.
