This course is designed for educators and professionals involved in special education, focusing on essential competencies that enhance the effectiveness of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the scope of practice within their roles to ensure clarity on who is responsible for what in the educational setting so that schools can be properly reimbursed for behavioral health services. The class makes distinctions between various therapeutic interventions and the skills required for effective billing practices, ensuring compliance and accuracy in documentation.
