SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Occupational and Physical Therapy services to students with disabilities are required by federal laws including Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1974, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Kimberlee Vickers, Invo HealthCare Associates, Progressus Therapy, Independent Living, Inc., Therapy Dynamics, and Cross Country Staffing have provided services to the district since May 16, 2006, through the approved RFP #4839-KJ.
We continue to collaborate with the Human Resources Department to explore options for possible restructuring of the Occupational and Physical Therapy positions. The expected outcome of our efforts will assist in the retention and recruitment of a greater number of direct-hire personnel, thus minimizing the need for contracted personnel.
