The district’s emergency plan details how special education and related services (speech, OT, PT, counseling, multisensory reading) will continue through virtual, online, and telephonic platforms during closures, in line with NJDOE guidance. Providers are using teletherapy and electronic resources, supported by Remote Learning Service Logs and Remote Related Service Logs, to document services and potential compensatory needs, with case managers coordinating via Google Meet and OnCourse. This structure indicates an ongoing need for robust, compliant teletherapy tools, digital progress-monitoring, and possibly outsourced or supplemental therapy services when in-house capacity is strained.Vendors offering IDEA-compliant teletherapy platforms, remote assessment tools, specialized instructional content, or contracted therapy services can explore how to enhance the current ad hoc mix of Google tools and email-based processes, and help manage compensatory services and documentation more efficiently.

Plan references NJDOE April 3 2020 memo on teletherapy and continued obligations under IDEA and Section 504; logs and documentation suggest need for better digital workflows.
