Addressing the educational needs of children in foster care

They can provide guidance and assistance in connecting with schools and community resources to address educational needs of children in foster care. This includes helping request and obtain a multidisciplinary team (MDT) evaluation, Individual Education Plan (IEP) or other services as appropriate.
