Can occupational or physical therapists make decisions to determine a students eligibility for ESY services?
No, therapists can not independently make decisions on service delivery for individual students. Rather, the IEP team, for which the occupational and physical therapist should be a member, determines if a student is eligible for ESY services. The occupational and physical therapist can provide information to assist the members of the team to make an educated decision regarding a student’s needs for ESY services.
