Abstract:
Home care agencies have an opportunity to create a new revenue stream while helping disabled children receive their education within schools, instead of at home, through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. This article examines the law itself, related court cases, problems with implementation, and implications for home care providers. Home care agencies must demonstrate to schools that they can deliver the services the schools need to supplement their nursing staffs under IDEA.
