don't mention your qualifications to provide this service, nor whether you are
with a district or agency that provides vision services. If the student has health
insurance with vision coverage I would encourage the family to seek a
professional through their medical plan. If this is not at a school site then I
am not sure what opinion I would offer. For schools services need to be based
on an agreed upon plan through the IEP process or Section 504, otherwise you
could leave yourself and/or agency open to litigation. Not knowing this
information I would call the special education director for your best, most
accurate information. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
