1. Initial Student Referral: There will be no fee for initial referrals each year. Initial referrals are those referrals that require up to two on-site visits by the Educational Consultant.
An initial referral will result in the following services available for each referral.
1. Up to two on-site consultation, technical assistance and/or training visits
by the Educational Consultant and the Family Resources Consultant to:
A. Meet with the Case Manager to clarify and discuss the team's request for technical assistance and family support.
B. Conduct informal assessments and observations of the student and his/her program and/or learning environments.
C. Meet with the student's educational team to discuss observations.
D. Make a plan with the school team to determine the need for continued I-Team services for the year. If the school desires on-site consultation that goes beyond the two visits of the initial referral or desires consulation from I-Team Statewide Consultants (Communication, OT, PT, AT, CVI, DB) the referral will change to a long-term referral and the $395 fee will be assessed (see below).
E. Written documentation (e.g., recommendations, program plan, reports).
F. E-mail and phone follow-up as needed throughout the school year.
2. Services of the I-Team Family Resources Consultants: Family Resource Consultants will be available to provide information and support to referred student's families throughout the school year. Services of the Family Resources consultant beyond the initial referral period does not require a long-term referral.
1. Long-Term Student Referral: When a school determines that they want additional on-site consultation, technical assistance and/or training to the school team beyond the initial referral period the school will be charged a once per year long-term referral fee of $395.
Additional services beyond the Initial Referral can include:
A. Additional on-site consultation, technical assistance and follow-up from the Educational Consultant and/or Statewide Interdisciplinary Consultants. The number of site visits will depend on the needs of the student, the school team and the availability of I-Team consultants.
B. On-site training to team members as needed and agreed upon by the school team and the I-Team consultant.
C. Additional written documentation (e.g., instructional program plans, recommendations, summary of student outcomes).
2. Training Referrals: A school administrator might request

the education of students with intensive needs to be delivered to school staff,
family and/or community members. Training can range from a partial day's of
training to a 3-credit UVM course (persons desiring UVM credit will have to
pay for those credits separately). Costs for training will equal $90.00
per hour of actual training time (preparation time and travel will
not be billed).
