Does your state require you to allow outside therapists to come into your program?
I don't know.....I understand ADA compliancy but I don't see anywhere in those laws that state we HAVE to accommodate these visits during program hours...kwim?
I like the "scheduling conflict" response as a viable and legal "out".
If a child has therapy due to an ADA protected disability and I decline to host a therapist here within daily routine I don't see that as non-compliant.
fwiw~ I have no idea.. I'm just trying to figure it out.
I see the connection but I'm so B&W about most rules that I usually make my decisions based on specific wording etc.. so I am wondering if it's the ADA that would say you HAVE to accommodate or the state's child care laws.
