Are pregnant students eligible?

Posted by:

Pregnancy is not considered a physical illness. Therefore, if the pregnancy is progressing normally, pregnant students are not considered eligible for services. If there are complications, the attending physician may complete a medical certificate for the student and she may then qualify for services. As with any other student, if the IEP team is not in agreement that the student would benefit from Hospital/Homebound services, she may not qualify.
