Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et seq.), a state hospital shall include on
its interdisciplinary team a representative of the local educational
agency in which the state hospital is located, and the individual's

otherwise working with the local educational agency for the provision
of special education programs and related services to individuals
with exceptional needs residing in state hospitals. However, if a

program with the participation of a representative of the state
hospital and the parent. The public agency responsible for the
individualized education program shall be responsible for all
individual protections, including notification and due process.
