Mental health 'exams' on children with no Hipaa/privacy protections


A report has teachers in many areas giving a monthly 72 question mental health exam or a social/emotional report card. Since the exams are administered and stored by non medical professionals Hipaa or privacy laws don't apply. This from ESSA-Every Student Succeeds Act which pushes SEL-Social Emotional Learning.http://ift.tt/2t6IAWR is also creating an administrative burden to teachers.It's just a warning so people know. You would have to find out if your state or school district is pushing this, specifically using DESSA or the Devereux Student Strengths Assessment. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2smDDvS
