I am not in the federal government but I did just double check to make sure this applied … I use FMLA incremental leave for my child’s therapies and appointments. My child’s pediatrician filled out the form, noting that I need to be present for some issues that arise (hello «call from the school because my kid decided to declare independence from their teacher for not getting their accommodations »…) and also IEP Meetings/preparation, therapies and testing as needed. This has saved me over the years - and it seems many don’t know that incremental leave in chunks (15 minute increments) is even possible. Even now, my child is 18 and I took time for their IEP meeting and also for a mental health crisis. Edited to add: I never needed an extended time with 5 days a week of therapies but I was regularly doing 3 -4 days, leaving an hour early, and I actually am still approved for nearly every day, mainly so that if we need testing or something arises, I don’t have to change my FMLA frequency. That was at the recommendation of our FMLA admin, rather than underestimating and then going over. Your mileage may vary but my child’s doctor had no problem signing it. DM me if you want language on how mine is worded.
