Mandated reporters can participate in this 2-hour web-based online training course at any time, 24/7. Once you begin, you will have 30 days to complete the course. In this Flash-based learning application, the existing OCFS curriculum was divided into smaller, more manageable sections. This allows users to save their progress at the end of each section--so they can complete it at their own pace, either in one sitting, or in multiple sessions. Users who log out after completing a section will automatically be returned to the end of their last completed section when they log back on to the training site. The course features interactive exercises that are customized for the major disciplines: Social Services, Education, Law Enforcement, Child Day Care and Medical. The course also addresses definitions, indicators, and how to make a report to the State Central Register. The application is full narrated and includes taped video segments that enhance the learning points. This course meets the New York State Education Department mandatory requirements for Training in Child Abuse Identification and Reporting.

Reminder about EI cuts
In today's economy everybody is hurting. Please take the time to send a message to Gov. Patterson that our children shouldn't suffer for it. Take a moment to visit this website and learn how the NYS legislature is proposing to cut funding to Early Intervention.
Once you access the site, there is a link you can click on to print out preaddressed letters to politicians in Albany. Please print the letters and sign them. Ask your family, friends, and EI families to sign a set as well and mail them off. Let Albany know that it is not acceptable to cut funds to developmentally delayed and disabled children!

NYCEI - Documenting Missed Sessions
According to NYCEI regulations – therapists must document on their session notes anytime a child is absent, whether it’s due to illness, vacation, etc on the part of the child and/or the therapist.
Please be sure that you write on your session notes each date that you are scheduled to go in and document if you or the child missed the session. DO NOT have the parent or caregiver sign for any missed sessions. Just document the date that was missed and the reason.
Also, if you provide a makeup session, document which session is a makeup by writing “makeup” in the margin next to the session. If you’d like, you can also list the date that you are making up in the margin.
Please also note, if a child misses three consecutive sessions you MUST document it on a new form that gets completed and faxed to our office. We will forward the completed forms to the child’s Service Coordinator and file it in the child’s chart. Our office sent the form out via email - but feel free to call us if you ever need a copy! We'll also work on having the form posted to our website at www.cooperkidstherapy.com.
