Each Outside Care Provider goes through a local school district approval as a contact vendor and meets with the campus Principal prior to providing on-campus services. As vendors, they provide services deemed as a medical necessity by the related insurance carrier and services are focused on increasing opportunities for personal and educational growth by matching student needs with the approved services.

This includes before and after care.
No teletherapy on campus. UCP does not permit teletherapy or tele-supervision by outside providers on any campus, including before and after care programs.
