Who may recommend Family Directed Services & Goods?

In Family Directed Services & Goods, recommendations come from licensed professionals who can assess medical or therapeutic needs and document why specific goods or services are required. A pediatrician or any doctor can provide a medical evaluation and confirm medical necessity for items or supports. A professional therapist—such as an occupational, physical, or speech therapist—can detail functional goals and specify equipment or therapies that will help the child participate and thrive. The school counselor, while important for educational planning, usually isn’t the source of medical or therapeutic documentation needed for FDGS. Therefore, allowing recommendations from a pediatrician, a doctor, or a professional therapist covers the relevant expertise needed to justify FDGS requests.
