20 Minutes to…Trained: FERPA v. HIPAA v. Privilege

This 20-Minutes to… Trained focuses on BIT compliance with FERPA and HIPAA mandates. Expert NABITA faculty members Linda Abbott, L.M.H.C., and W. Scott Lewis, J.D., dive into the differences between the two laws and how those laws intersect with the work of the BIT both at the K-12 and higher education levels. Linda and Scott provide practitioners with a roadmap of FERPA, including the information that can be shared, with whom, and in what circumstances. This training is an excellent tool to provide all school or campus community members with a brief and informative introduction to FERPA. This training is a perfect opportunity for all BIT members and those who help to provide referrals or provide interventions for students.
