Special Education Services

 

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a four part (A-D) piece of American legislation that ensures students with a disability are provided with Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) that is tailored to their individual needs.

 

PHP offers Individualized Education Plan (IEP) Basics in both English and Spanish, Vietnamese consultation available. The Education Specialists at PHP who conduct training are also available for telephone consultations to answer questions about the IEP process and other related concerns.

Is your child a regional center client?

If your child is also a regional center client, he or she may be eligible for additional services. 

 

In Santa Clara County visit http://www.sarc.org/ to learn about these services.

 

Often, children with high needs may be eligible for a Medi-Caid Waiver through what is referred to "institutional deeming". It does not mean your child will go to an institution, in fact, they must live with you to be eligible.
 

Lanterman would like to offer you an opportunity to obtain “full-scope” Medi-Cal coverage for your child through a special program called “Institutional Deeming.” This program enables children ages 3 to 18 to receive coverage under full-scope Medi-Cal who would normally not be eligible because their family income is too high. (A child under age 2 may also qualify if he or she has been diagnosed with a developmental disability rather than only delay.)
