Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum. I have been searching online for how to count partial intervention and assessment hours for the AAPI. I have looked at the APPIC instructions, and they say 45-50 minutes counts as an hour. It also says to round. I am not sure if the rounding should be done for every session or for the total. So, I have counted all of my 45-50 minute therapy sessions as 1 hour each. BUT, I have some 1.5 hour groups, which I don't know how to count. Should it be 2, because APPIC says to round to the nearest hour? Should it be 2 for a different reason, which is that 90 minutes is equivilant in time to 2 45-minute sessions? Or should it be 1.5 and I shouldn't round at all? Also, I have a bunch of half an hour therapy sessions that I don't know how to count for similar reasons.
Any help anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
