Guidelines for Providing Homebound Instruction to Students with Disabilities
Patterson, Philip D.; Tullis, Lorraine
Preventing School Failure, v51 n2 p29-33 Win 2007
Homebound instruction involves the delivery of educational services within a student's home. Examples include academic instruction, speech and language therapy, and physical therapy. Initially seen as a service option for very young or frail children with disabilities, homebound instruction is currently being accessed by a variety of student populations. Outside of Early Childhood Special Education, few professional preparation programs address the delivery of educational services within the home. In addition, school districts may not have specific standards for providing such services. Homebound instruction can present many unique challenges. This article will review issues and guidelines for professionals to consider when implementing homebound instruction. (Contains 1 table.)
