The Orange Public School District participates in the Federal Program Special Education Medicaid Initiative - SEMI. This program provides school districts with the opportunity to be reimbursed for medically-related services listed on the student's Individual Education Program. The services include Evaluations, Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy, Speech/Language, Counseling, Nursing, and Transportation Services.
This reimbursement for these services does not affect the student's Medicaid benefits.
