Can Maple Leaf administer medication?
Yes. Maple Leaf has met all of New York State’s requirements in order to be able to administer medication. Staff attends specialized trainings each year and takes the MAT exam every three years to keep up to date. Parents must obey strict guidelines set by New York State. Medications are only given if the proper forms are signed by parent and physician and given to us along with the medication in its original container, labeled with the child’s full name. According to New York State regulations, all paperwork must be completely filled out and submitted before administering medication to any child.
