We have two students that arrive early and are met by their aide at the bus stop. When do we start billing PCS for SHARS?
If the service is documented in the IEP, you can begin billing PCS when the aides meet the child at the bus stop. The same applies for after school. T15. If a life skills student has IEP goals/objectives that outline the Special Olympics/bowling and summer camp activities during the summer months and is transported on a special education bus to the bowling alley for this activity because there are no facilities on campus to support the goals/objectives. Can we bill for the service and for transportation to the off campus sites? Yes. The IEP must document the need for special transportation, as well as, why and how the activities meet the IEP goals/objectives for the life skills student. The IEP must also document what services/activities are ADL, PCS, etc.
