The Office of Child Care Licensing received a complaint on November 28, 2023, regarding not allowing services to be provided in the home as part of an IFSP. An investigation was conducted on December 4, 2023. This complaint is substantiated because the provider refused to allow therapy services to be conducted while Child #1 was in her care. Additional concerns noted were improper use of emergency substitute, lack of working phone and voice mail, failure to notify OCCL within one business day when a phone number changes, and failure to notify OCCL of serious health condition.
