OAR 414-320-1050. Care of Children with Specific Needs

(1) For the purpose of this section, a qualified professional includes but is not limited to physician, early intervention/early childhood special education specialist, related service providers, infant and early childhood mental health consultant, behavior specialist, or other similarly qualified professional. (2) When a qualified professional develops a written care plan for a child with a documented physical, developmental, behavioral, emotional, or medical condition requiring services beyond those typically needed by children of the same age, and the plan is provided to the certified ONB program with parental consent, the ONB program must implement the written care plan, except as provided in subsection (3) of this rule. The written care plan may be developed collaboratively with the family and the ONB program. (3) If implementing the written care plan would cause the ONB program to be out of compliance with these rules, the certified ONB program may apply for an exception to accommodate the needs of a specific child as outlined in OAR 414-320-0160. (4) The certified ONB program must ensure that all ONB program staff that come in contact with the child are aware of and follow the written care plan.
