Covid 19 Policy
Purpose and Key Principles
Since the beginning of this pandemic, new information has emerged to guide safety in schools. Opening schools generally does not significantly increase community transmission, particularly when guidance outlined by the World Health Organization (WHO),1 United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is followed.2,3 The lower risk of transmission of the virus by younger children and reported milder or moderate illness in this age group suggest the appropriateness of in-person instruction for primary and elementary grades. Along with our colleagues in the field of education,4 the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) strongly advocates for additional federal assistance to all schools throughout the United States irrespective of whether the current local context allows for in-person instruction.
Our goal here at ABDTLC is to be able to keep our school safe, and it is vitally important that all staff, students, and their families take all necessary measures to limit the spread broadly of SARS-CoV-2 throughout the learning center community. If you have any questions on how we address Covid 19 on a day to day basis, please feel free to send us an email at
info@abetterdaytherapycenter.org.
Physical Distancing Measures
It is clear that children over the age of 2 years can safely wear appropriate face masks. It is imperative to ask families to support this important practice and for schools to provide strict rules for adherence. Educate students and families on the importance of mitigation measures when not in the school building. Numerous reports from local jurisdictions show that school-associated outbreaks are often associated with students congregating outside the school setting, where mitigation measures such as masks and distancing are ignored or to a failure to follow mitigation measures consistently.
Special Education
Every child and adolescent with a disability is entitled to a free and appropriate education and is entitled to special education services based on their individualized education program (IEP). Students receiving special education services may be more negatively affected by distance-learning and may be disproportionately impacted by interruptions in regular education. It may not be feasible, depending on the needs of the individual child and adolescent, to adhere both to distancing guidelines and the criteria outlined in a specific IEP. Attempts to meet physical distancing guidelines should meet the needs of the individual child and may require creative solutions, often on a case-by-case basis. Additional safety measures for teachers and staff working with students with disabilities may need to be in place to ensure optimal safety for all. Each child/adolescent’s IEP should be reviewed with the parent/guardian/adolescent yearly (or more frequently if indicated). All recommendations in the IEP should be provided for the individual child no matter which school option is chosen (in person, blended, or remote).
