Can SEDNET assist a student who has a severe emotional disturbance receive school-based services?
There are two ways in which a student who has a severe emotional disturbance can be referred for recommended school-based services. In the first instance, the SEDNET Case Manager will receive and process referrals or recommendations from treatment teams at psychiatric hospitals and/or residential treatment programs for children believed to be in need of SED school placement and services. In the second instance, referrals to the SEDNET Case Manager are made for students transferring from out-of-state school districts that have determined a student eligible for severely emotionally disturbed services and believe the child to still be in need of such programming. Either parents or school personnel at the current out-of-state facility or the Broward County School receiving the transferring student can make these referrals. Upon receipt of either of these types of referrals, the SEDNET Case Manager can expedite and facilitate a staffing at a SED Center to determine eligibility for services.
