Sarah: Is a service provider required to make up a session if the student is absent?
Absences: IS MAKE-UP SESSION REQUIRED IF STUDENT IS ABSENT?
Special Education Law and Advocacy
If only one day that might be tough to fight for but if for an extended period of time yes you should have some makeup time. The school has to meet the requirements of the goals on the IEP so they will have an incentive to do what it takes. If not call an IEP meeting and discuss.
A state or district could require this. The federal dept. of education says that this should be done when the provider is absent, & considered if the student is absent “a lot”. Your state parent training & information center can assist you. http://www.parentcenterhub.org/find-your-center
