One or two staff, dependent upon student numbers, will be on duty during evenings and weekends. These individuals will be responsible for overseeing and supporting all students. There is no overnight staff for EGTI; however, should a need arise during overnight hours, students are directed to contact the hotel’s front desk where an employee is working.  If more individualized support is needed, students should access resources through Medicaid Insurance or their Medicaid Waiver (Indiana residents only): Family Supports Waiver, Community Integration and Habilitation Waiver, Aged and Disabled Waiver, and TBI Waiver.

If the student receives services through Medicaid Insurance or a Medicaid Waiver – from a service provider outside of Delaware County – please contact your case manager or Medicaid case worker upon acceptance into EGTI. A service provider serving individuals in Delaware County must be chosen while the student attends EGTI.

Medications, Illnesses and Emergencies

Upon acceptance into EGTI, students or guardians are required to fill out an Insurance and Medical Information Form. This will provide EGTI staff with important information in the event of a medical emergency.

Students are expected to independently manage medications; however, EGTI staff will complete medication checks once per week. If medications are not being taken or refills are needed, EGTI staff will communicate with the student and guardian/parent to determine a plan. If possible, we ask that students bring enough medication to last the entire training session to avoid arranging refills. If this is not an option, please plan to get refills during a weekend visit or transfer refills to a pharmacy in Muncie. Part-time staff can support students with riding the bus to obtain these refills.

Should a student contract an illness during his/her time at EGTI, EGTI staff will communicate with the student and guardian/parent. Arrangements to make and attend a doctor’s appointment will be the responsibility of the student and guardian/parent. In the event of a medical emergency, the student will be transported to the closest hospital or the hospital listed on the Insurance and Medical Information Form. EGTI staff do not stay at the hospital with students. Once at the hospital, it is the responsibility of the student or guardian/parent to arrange transportation back to the hotel.
