Hello, 

School Based Services Especially If Required for FAPE 

cannot be delegated to external providers. This is known as 

Non-Delegable Duty and School Divisions across the Nation

are beginning to hemorrhage grants funding for ‘double-dipping’ 

Mental Health Services. So, just like any other Personal Physician, 

they would NOT be routine IEP Team Members which potentially 

conflicts with VACBP statements. Schools Routinely REJECT QMHPs 

and other Privately Secured Providers to control ‘the process’ as 

well as all information about any given child/ren. 

These efforts are a massive intrusion upon the families to 

conduct Psychological/Mental Health Services without a Parent/Legal Guardian present. 

Vulnerable Children with Disabilites like Autism, should NEVER be subjected to 

any questioning, studies, without express parental consent and the IDEA mandates this.

RECOMMENDATION: Cancel This Initiative. It is harmfully invasive.
