Positions involving the virtual oversight and coordination of special education services for students with disabilities. These roles entail managing individual education programs (IEPs), collaborating with educators and families, and ensuring students receive appropriate support and resources from a distance. For example, a case manager might conduct virtual meetings to review a student’s progress, coordinate online therapy sessions, and provide guidance to parents on implementing strategies at home.
The accessibility afforded by these roles can significantly impact the provision of special education services, especially in underserved or geographically remote areas. They allow for increased flexibility for both case managers and families, promoting better communication and potentially leading to improved student outcomes. Historically, the limitations of in-person interactions presented barriers to effective case management; however, technology has broadened access to expertise and support, fostering more inclusive educational environments.
