What kind of services are available?
If your child qualifies for special education and related services, a multidisciplinary team that includes you, will decide how to best meet the individual needs of your child. This team will include:
- school administrator
- parent(s) or guardian
- evaluation personnel
- teacher(s)
- student
The team will review evaluation information, discuss eligibility for special education, and will identify the areas of need for specialized instruction and related services such as speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, or counseling. If the team determines your child is eligible for special education services, they will work with you to develop an Individualized Education Program (IEP).
