Do you administer medication yourself?
We strive not to administer medication at ABA Center International. Wherever possible, medicine is administered by the parents themselves. When a learner still needs to be given medication at ABA Center International, a ‘Drug Administration Agreement’ must always be filled in and returned. By medicine or medicines, we mean medicines that have been prescribed by a doctor or specialist, but also self-care medicines. The medication must always be taken in its original packaging with a package leaflet and written out on the individual in question. The drug must have been used once before to prevent a possible allergic reaction at ABA Center International. The learner’s name should be written. Medication is carefully stored in a closed cupboard out of the reach of our learners.
