DHS/MDE memo about collaboration between EIDBI providers and school districts

DHS and the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) published a joint memo to clarify how EIDBI providers can collaborate with school districts to coordinate supports across service systems for children with ASD and related conditions.

Under state and federal law, Medicaid-covered EIDBI services and special education supports may be provided at the same time, depending on the needs of the student and local school district policy. The school district has no financial responsibility for EIDBI services.

Memo: Collaboration between EIDBI providers and MN school districts (PDF) includes:

  • · Clarification about state and federal law for EIDBI services and special education supports
  • · Resources and supports for EIDBI providers and school districts to collaborate successfully
  • · Factors EIDBI providers and school districts should consider when developing plans that meet the needs of students, are educationally and medically appropriate and are compliant with applicable laws and policies.
  • To learn more about the memo and collaboration efforts in Minnesota, visit the MN Autism Resource Portal.
