Depending upon a student’s needs, services are provided throughout the student’s daily schedule. Our support specialists communicate and plan in conjunction with the student’s teachers and after-school caretakers so that each activity has appropriate focus. Service providers utilize the student’s Individualized Education Plan (IEP) in evaluating and planning for the student. |

A student may have individual and/or group sessions, re-evaluations and re-assessments based upon consultations and evaluations between the student and the professional.
Specialized Staff
Health and Related Services provides students with highly qualified, caring staff members who hold professional degrees in their service areas, and who have a wealth of education and experience. Each professional service provider holds a master’s degree or higher, and their assistants hold a minimum of a bachelor’s degree.
Fees
Parents and families of students do not receive bills for health services at the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind. The school receives reimbursements for medical services through the SC Department of Health and Human Services “Partners for Healthy Children” program for Medicaid-eligible students.
Parents may have to pay for a student’s personal equipment or medications, but the staff works with families to identify private insurance or Medicaid funding when possible.
