Child and
Adolescent Partial Hospital Model Practice and Parent Survey
October
21, 2004
PCPA has been
working with the Education Law Center, family advocates, the Department of
Public Welfare, and the Department of Education to assess and improve education
services available to children and adolescents in partial hospital programs.
As this process moves forward, PCPA has been asked to work with its members
to gather additional information and to identify model programs.
Model
Partial Hospital – Education Services
The Departments of Public Welfare and Education have asked PCPA to survey
its members in an effort to identify programs around Pennsylvania that represent
good examples of integrated and coordinated delivery of treatment and education
services within partial hospital programs. If a PCPA member agency is currently
operating a child-adolescent partial hospital and providing effective educational
services to children directly or through a collaborative arrangement with
a school district or intermediate unit, the Departments of Public Welfare
and Education would like to learn more about how this model was developed.
If members see a program as a model of treatment with integrated education,
capacity please contact Connell O'Brien at PCPA (717-657-7078 or connell@paproviders.org).
Parent
Opinion Survey by Parents for Parents
In an effort to better understand and improve education service capacity in
partial hospital programs, a parent work group has developed a parent opinion
survey of families who have children in treatment in partial hospital programs.
The work group and the Children’s Project of Pennsylvania Protection
and Advocacy (PP&A) have asked PCPA to invite its members to make this
survey available to parents in their programs. The survey and the information
collection process will be reviewed and discussed at the PCPA Children’s
Committee Meeting on Tuesday, November 16, and the survey will be made available
to agencies at that time. If member agencies are not able to attend the meeting,
but is interested enabling parents participating in the survey, please contact Connell O'Brien at PCPA.
