Services offered to students aged six years or older must meet the following four criteria: 

• The student is eligible for special education and related services as determined by an ARD committee.

• The student is expected to be confined at home or hospital bedside for a minimum of four weeks. The weeks need not be consecutive if the student is chronically ill and the local district policy allows for such. 

• The student is confined at home or hospital bedside for medical reasons only.

• The student’s medical condition is documented by a physician licensed to practice in the United States.
