Related services are defined as developmental, corrective and other
support services required to assist a student with a disability to
benefit from instruction. Based upon a student's Individualized
Educational Program (IEP), related support services may be provided.
A
student's related services may change from pre-school to school-age, as
children's needs change as they get older. Related services may be the
only special education service given to a child, or they may be provided
along with other special education services such as special class
services. Related services are intended to assist the student to: meet
the objectives of his or her instructional program; be involved in the
general education curriculum; experience success in his or her classroom
setting; and be educated with nondisabled peers.
