IEP Communication Tools between Schools and Physicians
The National Center of Medical Home Initatives for Children with Special Needs at the American Academy of Pediatrics
Physicians, families, and other members of the national Medical Home listserve submitted forms, communication tools and suggestions for IEP communication tools between schools and physicians. The replies are posted at:
www.medicalhomeinfo.org/model/bulletinIEP.html
Original request: How should/can special education departments share the IEP with the medical home? Specifically, has anyone developed a form used by schools to communicate the IEP services that the child has as part of their special education program--"The pediatricians say they would like to know what services the child is having in school however all parties agree that sending a copy of the entire IEP is to cumbersome and the physician does not have time to sort through the IEP". Please submit any forms, communication tools or suggestions.)

Strengthening the Community System of Care for Children and Youth with Special Health Care Needs and Their Families: Collaboration Between Health Care and Community Service Systems
by Suzanne Bronheim, Phd.D. Georgetown University Center for Child and Human Development & Thomas Tonniges, MD, American Academy of Pediatrics. Summer 2004. 27 pages. http://gucchd.georgetown.edu/72800.html
Focus: Medical homes and organizing services for children and youth with special needs and their families so families can access them easily.
Excellent, practical resource with suggestions for how health care system representatives and representatives from the broader system of community services can:
- become more aware of each other,
- learn about the specifics of the other system
- and communicate successfully to improve services for children and youth.
First National Survey of School Mental Health Services
One-fifth of students receive some type of school-supported mental
health services during the school year, according to a new national
survey released today by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA). Elementary, middle, and high schools all cite
social, interpersonal, or family problems as the most frequent mental
health problems for students.
