Initial Referral:
The student’s public school district is responsible for identifying students in need and initiating the referral.
Who is Eligible?
This is a voluntary program, so services are provided with parent/guardian permission. Any student may be a recipient, regardless of grade or special education status. This program is currently available to students who are both in general education and special education.
Assessment & Consultation:
Once the initial referral is made, the NEC Connections Wraparound Clinician will meet with school staff, student and family members. They will assess the situation and make recommendations for appropriate community-based services, provide consultation to school-based staff and help families navigate/access necessary supports.
